C. L. BEACH'S NEW ACTIVITIES.
A new line of manufacture seems to be developing
at Holland, Mich., and which at the present time is
sponsored by Mr. C. L. Beach, late secretary of the
Bush & Lane Piano Company. Several lines of
fretted stringed instruments are being experimented
with and a new type of practice piano for use in
schools and piano class instruction is practically fin-
ished and can be placed on the market within a short
time. This practice instrument of about five octaves
capacity is the invention of Mr. Lloyd Loar, well
known in constructive and scientific work in the pro-
duction of musical instruments. Mr. Loar's inven-
tion and the activities of Mr. Beach and the inventor
will be followed with much interest inasmuch as this
instrument opens quite a new field for sales activities
as one of the requirements of piano class teaching.
