looked for not only by the great artists but also by
business players and the younger musicians in school
juvenile bands.
Great Band Leaders and Soloists Give Enthu- and "This
new Conn model Euphonium is the best of
•YYYYYY••••¥•Y•••••VYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
siastic Praise to Tonal Merits of
them all," said Limone Mantin, soloist with the Met-
ropolitan Grand Opera Company and formerly solo-
the Instrument.
The Conn Wonderphone Euphonium 601 is an in- ist and assistant director of Pryor's Band and for
strument which delights the soloists and band lead- many years soloist with Sousa's Band.
Joseph O. De Luca has had a most enviable career
ers. When euphonium players at the top of their
as soloist in the following bands: Creatore's band,
Innes' band, Conway's band and Sousa's band. He
has recently been engaged by the University of Ari-
zona as band instructor of two big bands at the Uni-
versity. He says: "Your latest model which I re-
ceived recently was a revelation to me, although I

DISCIPLINING THE PROFESSOR.
When Emmet Peck, head of the violin department
at Southwest Missouri State Teachers' College, re-
fused to appear on the same platform with a har-
monica player he started an artistic controversy that
is echoing even into the hill country. "The harmon-
ica is not a musical instrument," he is purported to
have said. All the "French harp" fans immediately
burned the war bonfires and indignantly asked how
Professor Peck got that way. What, they demanded,
did a fiddler know about it? Then they called a
State-wide contest at Springfield, in which forty-two
champion harmonica players demonstrated what could
be done when regular experts felt like playing.
—to become specialists in a field which will not
only pay them exceptionally well but which
will give them social standing and prominence!
O young men looking for such an opportunity we
T
have an unusual offer. Right now in numberless
cities and towns in the United States, there is a great
shortage of piano experts, technicians and tuners.
The few masters there are, are earning Jarge salaries
for this exceptionally pleasant work. Their time is
FREE
their own. They meet the best peo-
ple and soon establish a wealthy elien-
tele. YV
