Duplex Cymbal Holder
Popular With Drummers
Dealers Find Device a Good Selling Item in
Their Drum Department—A Product That
Builds Reputation
ST. LOUIS, MO., January 24.—One of the biggest
hits in the trade is the new Duplex Charleston
cymbal holder, manufactured by the Duplex
Mfg. Co., 1815 Henrietta street, and sold
through music dealers throughout the country.
The Duplex advertising department has just
prepared an advertising circular which describes
and explains the new holder, which is taking
the trade by storm, and the dealers are making
many sales to drummers by use of the circular.
By the very nature of his work in the mod-
ern orchestra the drummer is constantly on
the alert for new ideas and effects and the
music dealer who keeps in touch with the novel-
ties that come out and who stocks them is
the one who builds a reputation for having a
live drum department.
The Duplex firm is the originator of the
separate tension type of drum, which is now
a standard among drums. Their drum line is
known from coast to coast and is sold by
leading dealers.
Duplex dealers are also getting results with
the new Duplex double-cymbal holder on floor
stand. This stand is equipped with two de-
tachable rocking cups, which insure maximum
vibration and full cymbal tone. The stand is
made of iron finished in gold bronze and
lacquered so that it will not rub off. It is
rigid enough to hold two cymbals without shak-
ing. The base may be quickly detached by
loosening a thumbscrew, which is a feature
appreciated by jobbing and traveling drum-
mers. The upright arm may be adjusted to
any desired height within its radius.
J. A. Meyer, general manager of the Duplex
Mfg. Co., reports that 1926 was the best year
in the history of the company and prospects
for 1927 are exceedingly bright, January hav-
ing started off with heavy orders.
