IND., July 2.—The City of St.
iL Louis is rightfully proud of its fine Sym-
phony Orchestra, the reed section of which has
long attracted favorable notice. This remark-
able clarinet group is headed by Rocco Zot-
tarelle as principal clarinetist, Clarence L. Ges-
ner, second clarinet, and Chas. Camacho, bass
clarinet. Toni Sarli, a clarinetist of national
fame, was the principal with this orchestra for
a great many years and always played Selmers.
In fact, these instruments have been used ex-
clusively in the clarinet section of this orchestra
since about 1912 with invariable satisfaction to
the players.

ment sales all along. The influence of the
school tournament, and the district, city and
State school band tournaments has been seen
in the increased call for instruments.
"With warmer weather coming along there
will be a big call for ukuleles and harmonicas.
Banjos will have an increased sale during the
Summer, for at this time many young boys
take up this instrument, and learn to play it,
while others buy a better instrument so they
can get engagements for playing at Summer
dances, etc. While Summer may not be the
ideal time for big demand the sales on band
instruments have not fallen off, and they com-
pare very favorably with last year."
Well-known Banjo Manufacturer Reports Good
Results From Meeting Before Going on Va-
cation Trip
William L. Langc, manufacturer of Para
mount, Orpheum, Langstile, Banner Blue and
Challenger banjos, 225 East Twenty-fourth
street, New York, left last week for a motor
trip through New England. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Lange, and plans spending a
short vacation in Manchester, Vt., where he
will try his luck on the famous Ekwanok Golf
Course. Before leaving Mr. Lange expressed
to a reporter of The Review great satisfaction
over the results of his exhibit at the Hotel
Commodore during the convention, stating that
he has already opened several important new
dealer accounts for Paramount banjos as a
direct result of the convention.

in September he plans spending a vacation in

Mr. Shephard leaves behind him a record of
success in the Buescher organization as an ad-
vertising expert of rare ability, for his con-
tributions to Buescher advertising have raised
it to a high place in the musical instrument field.
Some of his best work has been as editor of
Truetone, the Buescher house organ, which has
become one of the most interesting of musical
publications.

to be a dead season for instruments," according

good, and the demand is not centered in saxo-

it is heavy on all instruments.
