Commenting on the Convention, Al-
len M. Foote, President of the com-
pany, stated: "This 1954 Convention
sure was a big success for us. Repre-
sentatives of nearly every important
piano and electronic organ manufac-
turer came to see us. Dealers and
tuners from all over the United States
were here, too. They liked our revolv-
ing fortune wheel display.
However, Sales Manager O. J. Buck-
ley was quick to remind Mr. Foote
that the most important part of the
visitors' trips to the room were the
orders that the boys placed for more
Dampp-Chasers.

THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW, AUGUST, 1954
Rudolph Wurlitzer to Produce
Electronic Practice Piano In Fall
THE NEW WURLITZER ELECTRONIC PI ANO—MONITOR BOX SHOWN AT THE LEFT.
The Rudolph Wurlitzer Co., DeKalb.
111., released a statement on the last day
of the Convention in Chicago to the
effect that the Wurlitzer electronic pi-
ano, which was displayed for the first
time at this Convention, was received
so favorably that the company is plan-
ning to put the instrument into produc-
tion by the end of the year.
Regarding this, R. C. Rolfing, Presi-
dent of the company, said: "We are
making preparations to put the instru-
ment into production and hope this will
be accomplished by the end of the year.
The comments which we received from
dealers all over the country were so
favorable so that we feel that it will be
something very much worthwhile for
the piano industry."
Janssen Piano Used
at Vassar College
Vassar College, famous women's in-
stitution of learning at Poughkeepsie.
IS. Y.. has chosen a Janssen School Pi-
ano in Blonde Oak as its official in-
strument for piano instruction and for
•use in plays, concerts and other musical
events, according to George Schaffer.
Executive Vice President of the Janssen
Piano Co., Inc.. New York, N. Y., who
said that like many of the company's
sales to schools, colleges and institu-
tions, this choice has been made
through the recommendation of a Jans-
sen piano by the official piano tuner
at the college.
The introduction of this instrument
was announced in the REVIEW in June
with photographs showing how it can
be played with earphones, so that when
a person is practising no one but that
person can hear the music. A new de-
velopment discovered, however, at the
Convention included a monitor box
which is shown in the left-hand illus-
tration herewith. This box can be used
by a teacher who may have several of
these instruments in use and can turn
the dial so that she may listen to all or
any one of the pianos which are being
played upon by the students, who at
the same time may have earphones at-
tached so that no one can hear the music
except the students and the teacher.
