Another Sunday Afternoon Concert Directed by J. F.
Boyer Broadcasted by Station KYW.
The Sunday afternoon Educational Concerts fur-
nished by the great band and orchestra instrument
manufacturing house of C- G. Conn, Ltd., of Elkhart,
Ind., broadcasted over station KYW, Chicago, are
attracting more and more attention each week. Last
Sunday afternoon (Feb. 12) the cornet was the sub-
ject of the lecture by J. F. Boyer, who was assisted
by Carl Martin and Richard Stroffs as soloists and
demonstrators of the functions of the cornet family in
the brass band and orchestra.
Air. Boyer thanked his invisible audience of radio
listeners for the interest manifested in these educa-
tional concerts which must be made especially at-
tractive to make people remain at home to listen to
the Conn artists on a Spring-like day wonderful for
motoring.
Great interest continues to be manifesed in the
"best letters on the day's concert." The winner of
the prize, a scout trumpet, of the Conn, Ltd., make,
is a young lad of Danville, 111. A demonstration of
the instrument was made by Prof. Stroffs, carrying
the melody entire in the William Tell overture and
other selections. This is considered quite an ex-
traordinary accomplishment on "open note" instru-
ments of the bugle class. Practically all the present
day bugle calls were also given by this performer.
The demonstrations on the cornet by the two
virtuosi, Martin and Stroffs, made more interesting
the descriptive talk by Mr. Boyer.
Mr. Kuhn, the well-known Sousaphone player, gave
a request number, "Rocked in the Cradle of the
Deep," with variations; the grand organ accompani-
ment being played by Mr. Boyer.
GOOD BAND INSTRUMENT YEAR.
Music dealers in Evansville and other towns who
handle band instruments are of the opinion that this
is going to be a good year for the sale of such
goods. Most of the dealers say that a presidential
year is always good for the band instrument business
and they do not expect this year will be any exception
to the rule. Start Mueller, of the Harding & Miller
Music Co., Evansville, Ind., believes that his firm
will sell more band instruments this year than they
have any year since 1924. He says the general trade
outlook in Evansville and southern Indiana is much
better than it was at the beginning of the present
year. Spring and summer trade probably will show
a gain over the corresponding period of last year.
THE SYRACUSE PROGRAMS.
The Clark Music Co., Syracuse, N. Y., sponsors
the series of Syracuse Composers' programs broad-
casted every Tuesday evening over WSYR at the
Hotel Syracuse. In a period of three months com-
positions from the works of eighteen different Syra-
cusans have been given and included music of every
description.
