Pump for Horn PLAYERS.

The patient German inventor has
produced a new labor-saving device;
this time 1t is meant to make easier
the work of the man who plays a
wind instrument.
To maintain at the lips an air pres.
sure required for some wind instru.
ments Is fatiguing. Besides this the
necessity for taking breath once in a
while makes 1t almost impossible to
render properly long passages full of
sustained notes.
Hence the inventor has devised a
machine operated by the foot which
conveys air under pressure by tube
to the mouth of the player. II would
be, of course, impossible to attach the
tube from the bellows directly to the
instrument, since It is by the mouth
that character Is given to the sounds.
But the musician using this inven,
ton will have his mouth constantly
filled with air, and can breathe in
through his nose without interrupting
his flow of music.
