Since the announcement of the Solovox
by the Hammond Instrument Co., Chi-
cago, this instrument has been used in
a special window display by Wm. Knabe
& Co., 47 St. and Fifth Ave., New York.
Just inside the door is a Solovox attached
to a Knabe grand piano which is demon-
strated from time to time each day. So
great became the interest that it was found
necessary to move the instrument to the
back of the store and at each demonstra-
tion from thirty to fifty persons come into
the store and listen. Not only has this
resulted in Solovo-" sales but many pianos
have been sold to those who have stopped
to listen.
