GERMAN HARMONICAS.
The following is a report of conditions in the
German harmonica industry, from Vice-Consul
Howard Taylor, Stuttgart:
The center of the German harmonica and ac-
cordion industry is in Wuerttemberg, with Tros-
singen, a small city in the Black Forest, as the center
of manufacture. During 1927 there were 50,561,400
harmonicas exported, valued at 14,613,000 marks, as
compared with 49,748,000. valued at 15,^01,000 marks,
in 1926. Although the total number of harmonicas
exported increased in 1927, their value decreased
owing to unsatisfactory prices on the world market.
Germany's exports of accordions decreased in 1927
by approximately 9 per cent in both number and value
as compared with 1926. There were 635,078 accor-
dions, valued at 6,707,000 marks, exported in 1927
against 699,111, valued at 7,371,000 marks, in 1926.
