ment with 18 stops which it is claimed
when used in varied combinations pro-
duce with startling fidelity an almost
limitless variety of string, woodwind

The device may be easily attached to
a piano, or used independently on its
own stand. Both the manual and ampli-
fier units pack into a single, portable
luggage-type case.
Progress is being made in the pro-
duction of the Clavioline for American
consumption, albeit somewhat slowly as
is usually the case when a new instru-
ment is being developed for manufac-

distributsd through a select group of
musical instrument houses. Dealers had
an opportunity to preview this instru-
ment during the convention at the Chi-
cago Musical Instrument headquarters in
Chicago.
