Something New.

Perhaps the most attractive visitor of all will be Mr. Maurico Marlenot, the inventor of the so- called musical sound Wave In- strument, which has been described as a living reality. This instru- ment is something new in the field of music. It is an Instrument which has been long thought out.80 as to enable the artist to express the music with accuracy and subtlety such as no other instru- ment possesses. In a most extra- ordinary manner, the performer, placed at a distance in front of his instrument, plays with most perfect

movements case. Simple municated to a thrend or a tiny string are sufficient to regulate the vibrations and harmony pours instru- through the ether. The ment, which is not automatic, com- prises nothing analogous recorda or perforated rolls, etc. Inside a table, lampu similar to those used in a wireless apparatus set up electric vibrations with the help of appropriate circuits. Modulated by the performer's play these vibra- tions become acoustic through the medium of # diffuser. The manipulator is able to produce utterances of the wood-winds from flute to double baasogn; of the strings, of the hunting horn and trumpet. In addition he has at his disposal struck-notes as in cer- tain forms of organ play; the strings of the upper register, and even held-notes like the human volce. Curious examples similar to the sylvan flute, saxophone, the Hawaiian guitar and even the saw are also procurable.

Mr. Martenot himself is a music. ian of some note but in his youth he was extremely interested in certain branches of science as well. While a wireless instructor during the war, he noticed that the tubes, In generating waves, enabled the production of strangely beautiful Bounds, After the Armistice, he developed the idea and perfected the instrument. His sister, Mias Ginetta, Martenot, contributed to the improvement of the Instrument by using a dummy keyboard similar to that of a plano to control it.
