Gretsch Features the
Robert Woodwind Line
Brooklyn Jobber Sends Out Letter to Dealers
on Robert Woodwinds Urging Them to Push
These Instruments
Business in Robert clarinets was stimulated
during the past month as a result of a letter
mailed by E. E. Strong, advertising manager of
the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co., Brooklyn N. Y.,
to Gretsch dealers in all parts of the country.
The letter was accompanied by an illustrated
Robert catalog describing the A. Robert (Paris)
woodwind instruments which are represented
exclusively in this country by the Gretsch firm.
Mr. Strong presented the case for Roberts in
I he following interesting manner:
"Dealers: There's no real reason you know
for letting the woodwind players of your local-
ity go to some out-of-town specialty house when
they want to spend real money for a quality
clarinet or oboe. Times have changed. To-day
of the three or four really distinguished and in-
ternationally known woodwind lines, one of the
most famous of all is reserved for the American
retail music dealer. It is merchandised in his
interest, priced in his favor and adequately
stocked here in Brooklyn to meet his regular
MUSIC
TRADE
and emergency requirements. We are talking
about A. Robert woodwinds. Exclusive agencies
are granted to dealers who take on the line in
earnest."
Durro Violin Line Is
in Wide Demand
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, American Representa-
tives of Line, Report Big Increase in Orders
for It
The demand for Durro violins, bows and
strings has increased greatly during the past
month, according to Samuel Buegeleisen, head
of the wholesale musical merchandise house of
Buegeleisen & Jacobson, New York, who have
the exclusive representation of this famous line.
The B. & j . order department has been working
at top speed to fill the Durro orders that have
accumulated during the past thirty days.
"Ukuleles may come and ukuleles may go, but
the violin remains forever as the favorite of
musicians the world over," Mr. Buegeleisen
stated in commenting on the demand for violins.
"Many dealers who have been doing a rushing
business in ukuleles have not lost sight of the
fact that the violin department is one of the
most important in the music store and there is
Banjo and Drum Heads

more business than ever to be obtained there.
Our violin sales are at a high level right now,
largely because we have not neglected this de-
partment and are able to offer dealers good
values."
Buegeleisen & Jacobson are now featuring a
musical novelty known as the "Playol," which
is an inexpensive instrument upon which a per-
son plays anything or imitates any instrument
by humming. This firm has the exclusive distri-
bution of this popular novelty in the United
States and it is already in big demand. The
instruments come packed in a handy box which
makes it easy for dealers to sell them by dis-
playing them prominently on the counters.
Joins Portland Conn Go.
PORTLAND, ORE., October 5.—Robert Brown has
joined the sales staff of the Portland Conn Co.,
local branch of C. G. Conn, Ltd., manufacturers

A. G., Trossingen, Germany, arrived in New
York last week and will spend several weeks
