UNIQUE INSTRUMENT
AT NATIONAL MUSEUM
Plays a Violin and Piano in Re-
markable Human
Manner.

To the musical collection of the United
States National Museum there has re-
Gently been added a unique mechanical
instrument which plays violin and pi-
ano, rendering the most intricate musical
numbers in a remarkable human manner.
This instrument, which is the gift of
the makers presents an interesting con-
trast to some of the very old violins and
pianos in the collection.
1t Is known as the violano-virtuoso, is
the product of novelty company or
Chicago, and is remarkably free from
mechanical rhythm and tone.
Not only does the machine produce the
music of the many masters IN accord
with their composition, but when played
In hidden position it is hard to believe
that a master hand is not at the piano
and another playing the violin.
Invented by n. K. Sandal.
The dual operation of the two instru-
ments was invented some years ago by
Henry r. Sandal His first invention
consisted of a violin player alone, which
was shown in London in 1908. While he
was there the idea of combining piano
accompaniment with the violin occurred
to Mr. Sandal. and he set himself to
work out their coordination.
Despite tine wonderful results produced
by this invention, the actual operation
of it's mechanical parts is fairly simple.
The violin is played by four revolving
cylinders composed of laminated discs of
silk and celluloid, one over each of the
four strings, which are brought into con-
tact with the strings at the proper in
stant by small levers.
The production of the various individ-
ual notes is arranged for by sort OF
mechanical lingering which causes the
depression of one of the metal fingers
over the particular fret producing the
tones desired.
Initiates Bowing and lingering.
The machine initiates human bowling
and lingering, but is capable of even
more since it renders as many as four
notes at one time in true quartet har-
mony. The variations and tremolo eff
fects are made by the vibration of the
bottom binding post of the strings, which
swings back and forth through the oper-
alton of a cam. An added adjustable
device makes personal Interpretation pos
sible.
The piano part works much after the
magnetic action of an electric playing
piano. 1t is provided with more varia-
tions. however, and has greater range
of expression. not to mention an ability
to play sixty notes at once, besides its
main point of interest. that of its syn
chronism with the violin. The mechan-
ism of both pieces is operated by cleo
tricity, and the whole is incloSed in a
finely polished wooden case, the several
doors of which make it possible to in
crease or diminish the tone volume at
will.
The manufacture of this instrument Is
one of a long line of efforts to render
music by mechanical means. various ex-
amples of which are shown in the mu-
scum collection of musical instruments.

REMOVING EVIDENCES OF

Workmen Are Clearing Up the Up

Workmen are employed in removing the

at Mount Vernon in the heavy gale of
about ten days ago 1t will be several
days before all traces of the storm re-
suits are cleaned up, and the Mount Yer
non grounds restored to their usual or

trees, big and little. were blown down
and many others had limbs broken off
and were bodily Injured. Fortunately,
none of the buildings was damaged
though Mount Vernon seems to have
been directly in the path of the heaviest
Of the storm.
While none of the particularly his
toric trees was brown down. many of
the fine old oaks, walnuts and cedars
were destroyed.
Tomb Escapes Falling Tree.
One big oak that stood directly behind
the old tomb on the hillside overlooking
the river. in which the body of Gen.
Washington lay for over forty years. was
blown down. but in falling 1t dropped
to one side of the tomb and the latter
escaped injury. A big black walnut tree
that shaded the walk from the new
tomb to the mansion was another victim
of the fury of the storm.
A number of fine trees about the new
tomb were also uprooted.
1t is said that the loss of the many
fine old trees was due largely to the fact
that the ground was soft from frequent
rains, and the trees fell before wind that
under ordinary conditions would have
done but little harm.
