CHICAGO, I I I . , August 22.—George B. Menden,
banjoist and vocalist of Maurie Sherman's All-
star College Inn Orchestra, Hotel Sherman,
Chicago, is using the popular Regal Octofone.
The Octotone, which is a distinctly new in-
strument in the plectrum field, has been found
to be excellent for solo and orchestral playing,
and banjoists who have adopted this instru-
ment are enthusiastic over its possibilities for
it combines eight different instruments in one.
Mr. Menden emphasizes this point in his
letter to the Regal Co., in which he says:
"Have been using my new Octofone for all
my regular orchestra recordings and broad-
casting work and have been receiving many
compliments on its tone quality, especially over
the air. It seems to be every banjo player's
aim to double these days, and I like to recom-
mend the Octofone as an ideal 'double instru-
ment.' "
Piano Accordion Sales
Increase in Los Angeles
Los ANGEI.KS, CAL., August 17.—Earl Stone,
manager of the band and orchestra instrument
department of the Birkel Music Co., reports
excellent sales of Excelsior Piano accordions
for which the Birkel Music Co. are exclusive
southern California agents. The two profes-
sional models, "Black Beauty" and "Baby
Grand," are in heavy demand, the latter being
light in weight and especially attractive to lady
players. Mr. Stone gives the fullest credit for
the success of the Excelsior piano accordion
to Syl Pryor who went back to the New York
factory and worked through the various de-
partments, where he had an opportunity of
recommending favorably the different improve-
ments and specifications which he felt assured
were required by the professional piano accor-
dion player. Mr. Pryor has over one hundred
and fifty pupils, the majority of whom own
Excelsior piano accordions.
