WRITES PRAISING "DANSANT"
Irving Robinson, Prominent Professional Trumpet
Player of Los Angeles, Contributes Testimony.
The new "Dansant" trumpet made by the Martin
Band Instrument Company, Elkhart, Ind., is receiv-
ing praise from trumpet players all over the country,
tically every make of trumpet on the market, but who
are enthusiastic in their recognition of the merits of
the "Dansant."
Typical of the letters received is one that came in
from Irving L. Robinson, prominent professional
trumpeter of Los Angeles, which says:
"My new 'Dansant' is a wonderful horn and many
df my friends after trying it have also purchased. R.
T.a Verne Dadisman, a very well-known player here,
just recently bought a 'Dansant' and his instrument
alone made four more sales. I showed my trumpet
to Harry Owens of Vincent Rose's Orchestra, Mont-
marte Cafe, Hollywood, and he bought one before
going east to begin an engagement at the Ritz-Carle-
lon Hotel. New York.''

"Marks left from packing and hot dishes are easily

to match the original color.
" The difficulty in repairing places scraped off or
rubbed through is to revarnish them so no lap will
show. A special varnish will be found best. When
using a new kind of varnish the piano owner will find
it advantageous to try it first on another surface in
order to make certain that he can apply the liquid so
there will be no lap.
"Dull varnished surfaces are repaired in practically
the same manner as polished surfaces. First rub the
