ADOPTS NEW CODE OF ETHICS
National Association of Band Instrument Manufac-
turers Makes Specific Agreement Recently.
The National Association of Band Instrument
Manufacturers has adopted a code of ethics governing
the subsidizing of professional musicians through the
loaning of instruments in order to obtain their rec-
ommendation of the make.
"In view of the facts submitted and in the public
interest, the undersigned manufacturers and dealers
in band instruments have agreed not to subsidize
musicians or others in any manner whatsoever,-and
to this end they agree specifically:
"1. That they will not give away instruments to
prominent musicians or others. 2. That they will
not loan instruments for the purpose of having them
used by prominent musicians or others. 3. That
they will not pay salaries, fees, or gratuities to induce
prominent musicians or others to use or recommend
their instruments. 4. That they will not grant to
prominent musicians or others secret discounts, re-
bates or special terms not available to retail customers
generally. 5. That they will not grant allowances in
excess of the actual value of second-hand instruments
taken in exchange for new."
In order to facilitate the determination of proper
allowances for second-hand instruments taken in part
payment for new ones, the association is at present
compiling a consolidated price list of all instruments
manufactured by its members, on which such allow-
ances may be based.
