AMERICAN PLAYERPIANOS
IN SOUTH AMERICA
The playerpiano is increasing in favor in the South
American trade, according to reports from American
consuls and commercial attaches in all the republics.
The favor is particularly commented upon by Com-
mercial Attache W. E. Dunn, at Lima, Peru, where
he says many families are disposing of their ordi-
nary pianos in order to purchase a mechanical player.
The American playerpiano is preferred to the Ger-
man because of its superior mechanical features, Mr.
Dunn says. A recent development has been the in-
stallation of American mechanical devices in German
pianos, which has been done by a British manufac-
turer. Very few grand pianos have been sold in
Peru, this style being too expensive, except for the
wealthiest families.
The retail price of upright pianos ranges from 90
to 140 Peruvian pounds. Playerpianos sell for around
300 Peruvian pounds. The American piano has no
difficulty in competing with the German product in
price, although the exchange feature has been a draw-
back during the past two years. The most popular
German makes sold locally are the Bechstein, Bluth-
ner, Roenisch, Wessel, Steck, Neufeld, Holzo, B&cla
and Frati.
INTEREST IN GLEE CLUB.
Much interest is being shown in the formation of
Ihe Republic Glee Club from people employed in
shops in the Republic building, Chicago. Since it is
a unique idea for a large building of this kind, filled
with so many diverse interests, to get its members
together in a musical way, Chicago's musical profes-
sion has been interested, and a meeting is soon to be
held to form the actual organization of the club and
secure a director.
