New Instrument of Band Instrument Manufac-
turer Meets Immediate Response From
Musicians
ELKHART, IND., December 28.—The new Buesch-
er tenor saxophone is now being featured in
the Buescher Band Instrument Co. advertising
in the professional papers, and it is taking the
professional world by storm, according to mem-
bers of the Buescher advertising department,
who report that it has been heralded as the
"greatest single step forward" and "an innova-
tion in instrument construction."
"The greatest achievement of this instrument
is not visible to the eye," declared F. A. Buesch-
er, president of the company, to-day in talking
about the new Buescher tenor. "This is the
ready response of every note of the range, the
perfect intonation, the action, light yet positive;
the full round tones. To the best of my knowl-
edge, this is the first tenor saxophone ever de-
signed that is faultlessly in tune. Even under
heavy production, we are still obliged to book
orders in advance."
Features of the new instrument include the
new key octave mechanism by which the elimi-
nation of cumbersome mechanism makes the oc-
tave key easier to operate, a special key for
high F, a new clothes guard and the low Bb
roller.
Wonderful!
T
O win the plaudits of an audience requires a background of experience
and practice, perfect execution and the ability to actually live the music
as it passes through the different expressions. The accomplished vio-
linist does this—and more. MORE—because he must use the best string
he can find to faithfully reproduce his playing.
Well-known artists use Armours Violin Strings because they know from
experience that they are dependable—and enterprising dealers sell them for
the same reason.
Selling Armour's Strings is a valuable proposition. The product's merits
make sales easy and keep your customers satisfied, whether they be accom-
plished artists or mere beginners.

Fischer Issues Booklet
on Music in the Schools
Many Instruments Especially Designed for
School Bands and Orchestras Are Listed
and Described
Carl Fischer, Inc., the famous general musi-
cal merchandise house, Cooper Square, New
York, has just issued an interesting booklet on
music in the schools and is stimulating its school
business through its use. This booklet is really
a special catalog which features instruments for
school orchestras and bands and sets forth the
complete line of school musical instruments car-
ried by the firm.
Henry Gerson, head of the wholesale musi-
cal merchandise department of this concern, re-
ports considerable progress in school work. The
city of Kingston, N. Y., recently outfitted its
school bands and orchestras with instruments
from Carl Fischer, Inc., and another band just
outfitted by Carl Fischer, Inc., was the News-
boys' Band, of Hartford, Conn., a band organ-
ized by the Hartford Rotary Club.
Mr. Gerson states that, specializing, as they
do, in school business, they are able to keep up
with changed conditions and the musical prog-
ress of the schools. Many entire city school or-
ganizations have been equipped with Fischer
instruments. He predicts that the coming year's
business will be much better, for the outlook is
brighter than it has been for some time.
