time ago. European conditions still indicate
that a rise in accordion prices seems probable.
Mr. Buegeleisen is inclined to predict that
there will be a strong demand for all lines of
musical merchandise in the Fall. While ukuleles
seem to have the call during the hot weather
months Mr. Buegeleisen, who is one of the
most experienced forecasters of the musical
merchandise market, believes that the decided
stimulus of public interest in music will be re-
flected in larger sales of musical instruments
beginning, probably, in September. That this
feeling is shared by prominent dealers is shown
by the orders being placed now for late August
delivery.

Finds That the Trade Is Preparing for a
Very Active Fall Business
J. J. D. Taylor, sales manager of the Waverly
Musical Products Co., Inc., maker of hardware
and trimmings for musical instruments, Long
Island City, N. Y., has returned from a short
trip on which he visited practically all the man-
ufacturers in the East. Mr. Taylor found all
fretted instrument makers extremely busy and
naturally this state of affairs was reflected in
the volume of orders brought back to the fac-
tory by the Waverly sales manager.
The demand for Waverly products so far ex-
ceeds the supply that Factory Superintendent
Sparkes has been instituting measures to speed
up production in order to take care of these
orders. Several new machines have recently
been installed and the factory space has been
rearranged to make for more production.

BOSTO.V, MASS., July 20.—Word has been re-
ceived here by William Nelson, advertising
manager of the Vega Co., maker of Vegaphone
banjos, that Anthony Colluci, formerly with
Sam Lannin's orchestra, and a Vegaphone user,
is now with Vincent Lopez and his Hotel Penn-
sylvania orchestra. The news came in the form
of an order for another Vegaphone, Colluci be-
lieving that his advance to such an important
position in the musical world as banjoist for
Lopez necessitated another Vega instrument
for his use.
Colluci, who is one of the best known of
modern banjoists, has been playing Vegas for
years and makes no secret of his opinion that
Vegaphone banjos are the best instruments ob-
tainable.
