The following extracts from an American consular report for China will be of interest to musicians in Japan:--

"It is interesting to note the efforts being nade by the Japanese to introduce their planos: in the Chinese markel. Beveral well-equipped factories have been established in Japan whose head buildersare Japanese trained in British and Americau establishments)- They have succeed; ed in turning out handsome pianos, which they are offering to the dealers at about one half the catalogus price of Americap pianos, They are gradually overcoming the faults which are being found with their instruments, and are making some beadway, though small in this market. As the demand for pianos is not large. they cannot, of course, expect to secure a large "trade. The foreign-dealers, while not-refusing to put Japanese pianos on exhibit, decline to 47 place any sumber in stock, and the Japanese

are importen of their own nationality to push" the trade.

The American trade in organs has suffered

greally of late on account of the introduction of Japanese baby orgaus at almost half the price of the American-instruments. The first Japanese: organs imported were crude, but in spite of this their low cost proved a strong

argument in their favour with the Chinese pur. chaser.The musical goods dealers, who were enjoying a good trade in American organs, found that they could not compate with the Japanese instruments. With time the Japan ese were able to improve coair organs, and commenced their introduction into this field

with coorgy. The strongest argument in favour

a their instruments was the low price.

It was proposed to the American manu. facturers that they manufacture the paris for the baby organs in the United States and send them to China, to be set up in the piano and organ factories here.

This was done, and a material reduction in the price of the Americao organ was made. The Japanese, however, bava installed in their factories the most im proved organ-building machinery tó be had in the United States, and they are now sending their organs into this market in large numbers. Their instruments, while of as good appearance as the American organs, are generally not so well set up and are made ‘of less seasoned.
