Because of the volume and reverberant qualities of
organ music, a special instrument has been built for
station WGN, Chicago, by Lyon & Healy, to give the
best results for broadcasting. The organ is of the
type ordinarily used in homes and can be played
either manually or by means of music rolls. Co-
operating with WGN, a special studio in the music
house's building was constructed.
The walls are
paneled in silk brocade. The floor is tesselated tan
and blue rubber tile. By building the walls and
ceilings of a recently developed insulating material
almost ideal acoustical properties have been devel-
oped. The room containing the pipes is built on the
studio, but the pipes are not visible, the sound
being admitted through a silk covered panel.
Architecturally and acoustically the room has been
so designed that not only have the many objection-
able features of most organ broadcasting been ob-
viated, but violinists and vocalists may be heard with
unusual distinctness and freedom from vibrational
troubles.
ANNOUNCING GENNETT RECORDS.
The Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind., has discon-
tinued the publication of the Gennett Gazette, house
organ of the Gennett record department. The little
magazine was published every month for the pur-
pose of acquainting dealers with the artists that pro-
duce the fine records and also to keep them posted on
all the current releases of Gennetts. The company
believes that the effective system of acquainting the
trade with the new releases fulfilled by the continu-
ous succession of weekly lists, will perform the work
of the Gazette and do it more promptly.
