thing new in the way of melody, and
since the time of Palestrina the study
OF inharmonious and discordant comb
nations have been studied with as great
a zest as ever was harmony. 1t is with
this knowledge of the effects of discord
after intervals of harmony that a num-
Der of new and decidedly unique instru-
ments for orchestral purposes have been
devised.
First and foremost among these freak
instrument creations is a pedal clario-
net, which has this advantage over the
ordinary clarionet, that it has a much
lower and consequently heavier reach,
being heavy in tone and adding materi-
ally to the power of the orchestra. It
is a combination Of the clarionet and
the sexaph0ne. The lingering is the
same as in the 13-keyed clarionet. Small
metal plates instead of the customary
rings are used. however, thus securing
81 more perfect and complete system Of
stops than in the ordinary clarionet.
While in tone the pedal clarionet is mel
low and full, there is an unexpected
so1tness and at the same time a force
unequaled by any other instrument
