One of the most popular dance and concert or-
chestras in the Southwest, Youngberg's Entertainers,
of Oklahoma City, Okla., ascribes no little of their
success to the Martin Handcraft Instruments with
which they are all equipped. The purity and color-
fulness of tone which distinguishes the Martin en-
ables them, they say, to achieve wonderful effects
which they have not thought possible until they got
their Handcraft Instruments.
Martins are responsible, according to the unani-
mous opinion of this excellent orchestra, for aston-
ishing improvement in both solo and symphonic
work. Youngberg's Entertainers are so proud of
their Martins that they have prepared a card on
which it is announced that they are equipped
throughout with this make of instrument.
SPANISH G E N N E T T RECORDS.
Discos Gennet en Espanol is the name of a leaflet
issued to the trade for distribution by dealers by the
Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind. The Spanish Gcn-
netts are sung and played in that deft, light and airy
fashion after the manner of all things Spanish. These
are all by well-known Spanish artists and are inter-
preted with true artistic appreciation of the many
beauties of the melodies. They add great charm and
variety to the Gennett Foreign Library.
leading manufacturers of phonographs have exclusive
agents in Lisbon, but Germany has recently come
to the fore and now occupies first place. The reason
for this is due not only to the matter of price, but
also to the German method in Lisbon of advertising
and selling its phonographic goods. German repre-
sentatives who are well acquainted with the Portu-
guese language and customs visit all of the leading
and even the smaller music stores at regular inter-
vals. Credit is granted, but rarely ever exclusive
representation to any one concerned, no matter how
well equipped he may appear to be to take charge
of a line.
RECORDS IN PORTUGAL.
A good market exists in Portugal for phonographs
and records, says a report from Vice Consul H. T.
Mooers at Lisbon. At the present time Portugal
imports all of these supplies. The United States has
led in this trade and at the present time two of its
