A variety of Roumanian wood of great resonance
properties is interesting the European music goods
manufacturers. Italian economic circles manifest a
keen interest in the wood, and Legno, an Italian
industrial journal, says enormous quantities of Rou-
manian wood are imported into Italy where the
musical industry takes up a large proportion of first-
class resonance wood hitherto mostly from Austria,
Bohemia and Hungary, and from the Black Forest.
A correspondent of the Zeitschrift fur Instrumen-
tenhau says that besides the countries named above,
the specific wood required is only to be found in
Savoy and the French Jura. This resonance wood—
which is so much sought for in Italy—is found
mostly in Maristale, in the Bistrita-Borsteni valley,
in Trotcestale, Putnatale; but particularly in the
Bukowina—in the Dornatale. The best varieties oi
resonance wood are found at the height of 600 meters
above sea level. There are forests in Roumania
where resonance wood accounts for 8 to 10 per cent
of the total growth.
To make 1,600 pianos requires 160 cubic metres
gross of resonance wood. It costs about 4,800 lei
today to prepare a cubic metre of this wood. Italy,
continues the communication, recognizes the impor-
tance of the Roumanian favored position, and the
Italian handlers of resonance wood are devoting much
attention to it.
But American lumber producers dispute this
claimed pre-eminence of Roumanian woods and
warmly contend that there is no need to go out of
America for all the resonance wood that may be
required, and of the right quality.

2009-2021 CLYBOURN AVENUE
One of the most attractive window displays Cleve-
land has seen is that of the Cleveland branch of the
Starr Piano Co., on Huron road. It is strictly a
Vocalstyle trim, and was worked out by O. M.
Nasly, sales manager, who also installed it. "Ber-
uice of the Ivories" is being featured in the store.
The roll department is in charge of Miss Renie
Burdett, who has been enabled to give it much promi-
nence through a series of monthly concerts in which
Vocalstyle ro'.ls were played and featured with other
musical numbers. The Starr Piano Company is lo-
cated in the heart of Music Row, and their window
trims are always unique and attract a great deal of
attention.
