ed through the medium of compressed
air which a very sensitive valve re-
leases in a series of rapid explosions
with such speed that the minutest vi
brations on the record are clearly au
dible, the notes emanating from The
instrument as loudly, if not more Sc
than the voice of the singer that orr
ginally produced them, and withou
losing any of their purity and strength
of tone The instrument has beer
heard by many able musical critics o
Honolulu, who were astonished ant
delighted by its perfection.
