Instrument Made by Lyon & Healy for Jack Fenni-
well Creates Interest Heard by Radio.
The following item is clipped from a recent issue of
the Chicago Evening American:
"At WEBH was a new and strange instrument said
to have cost $1,000 and to be the only one of its kind
in the world. It is, as near as I can gather, "The
Big Four Washburn Guitar." It was played by Jack
Fenniwell and sounds considerably like an ordinary
steel guitar but with a booming accompaniment."
Lyon & Healy reports this instrument to be spe-
cially made by the company for Jack Fenniwell,
prominent Chicago guitarist, after plans made by
Mr. Fenniwell and W. I. Kirk, superintendent of
the Washburn stringed instrument factory. The cost
given in the news item is not an exaggeration. The
instrument has four guitar keyboards and is built
somewhat along the lines of a zither. A very large
chamber produces a great volume of tone, rich and
deep in quality and of great carrying power.
TO MOVE IN BOSTON.
The Musicians' Supply Co., now at 218 Tremont
street, Boston, will move to new quarters at 83 New-
burg street, June 1. An entire building, now being

brated. Martin Handcraft band instruments and

SUPPLY BUSINESS IMPROVES.
H. J. Hartwick, manager of the Chicago offices of
the Boston Piano Supply Co., of Norwood, Mass., re-
ports a very satisfactory improvement in business.
Mr. Hartwick was formerly western representative of
the American Felt Co. and the Boston Piano Supply
Co., traveling through the Western states.
