MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN
CHINA.
REPORT BY AN AMERICAN CONSUL
In ocmpliance with instructions, Depinty Consul General Clarence E. Gauss, of Shang hai, prepared the following report covering the trade in musical instruments In China:--
The value of the musical instruments im ported into China in 1907, as clarified in the castoms returns, were se follows Planus, piano-players, organ shing goods, horas, oto £22,753 automatic lustraments, £3,854 graphophones and accessories. £18,800.
In regard to the first class (pianos, etc.), the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States have until lately controlled the trade, but Japan is now an energetic competitor.
The dusand for piamas in China is not from the Chinese, but from foreigners. It is estimated that there are about 40,000 foreigners in this country. The feld is not, therefore, large Most foreigners in China (except the missionaries) are hure under contract for short term of years only. In purchasing planos they do not feel justified in paying the Increased foreign price for the higher grade instruments, and thu, after a few years of use, either shipping them home at the additional freight cost and the risk of damage ar disposing of them for practically nothing at aaotion or to an occasional second-hand pur chaser. As a consequence. the sales are con fined largely to moderate-priced instruments There are in this market both foreign and Chins mads pianos,
The German and Pritish manufacturers supply the majority of the pianos imported A few American pianos are also brought in, but the mumber is not large. American manufacturers are unable to place properly constructed instruments on the Chius market at prices which will allow of competition with the British and German riskes. Most of the American pianos in ported are of the higher grade. There are several instruments on the market known as American pianos which are in foot "American" only in that they bear the names of American builters. One instrument
The imports of graphophones and accessories into China during the years 1904, 1905, 1906, "and 1907, were £10,000-£13,000, £19,000 and

While there is a market for a limited untaber of importeil pianos in Chiun, it is not a large one, and the British and German builders seems to hold the trade, together with the foreign-built American instruments imported.

The high in demanded for the foreign makes, even for the cottage and yacht styles, the diffenty in securing properly constructed instrumenta, as well as the refusal of some of the larger and moro diable manufacturers to build moderate pricad pianos specially for this market, resulted some years ago in the establish. ment of two piano factories in Chine-one at Hongkong and one at Shanghai. The factory at Hongkong is not in sotive operation and in now used chiefly for repair work. The factory st hanghai has been established for thirteen years, and is conducted by a British firm.
