SINGING 70 A PHoNoGRapH.
One Of the Most Trying ordeaIs In an
Opera Artists Career.

Specially constructed violins, eellos
tubas, drums and reed instruments
are required as accompaniment to the
grand opera singer when lie or she
essays to watt the voice upon phono-
graph record. And ii Is safe to say
this singing to the phonograph Is the
most trying ordeal in the artists ca
reer.
Singers like Caruso, Melba. Farrar,
Amato and host of others are united
in declaring the singing for records
is the hardest work they ever have
undertaken They are bereft of their
audiences that inspire confidence. and
they necessarily must be careful to
avoid false notes or infections. The
slightest clearing of the throat or the
muftled shutting of feet will spoil a
record. And then it all has to be done
over again.
The singer is ushered into a great
barnlike room, curtained off at one
end. Through this curtain protrndes
gigantic brass horn. suspended from
the ceiling. 1t is attached to the pho
nograph record.
1t is then the singer notices bevy
of musicians. but with instruments
the like of which he never has seen
in any theater The violins are OF
different shapes from the instruments
with which he is familiar The horns
are Of varied shapes, and to each is
attached little funnel that points
In the direction Of the large receiving
horn. This is to concentrate the sound
The conductor sits on a platform
high above his musicians and the
singer. Thus he offers no obstruction
to the free transmission of the sound
waves. The singer is stationed upon
platform and close to the mouth
Of the horn.
A red light flashes, the musicians
pour forth light, soft melody. for
which their instruments are particu'
larry designed. and the grand opera
artist loosens his vocal cords His tone
must be steady and strong. The
slightest variation is recorded upon
the wax record, and a trivial noise
may spoil the performance. Once he
has finished the record is placed upon
producing machine and played over
to detect faults. These errors are
pointed out and the singer rehearsed
to prevent them. Again he repeats
the song, and perhaps a dozen times
he is forced to sing before a perfect
wax impression is obtained.
Great grand opera artists are paid
thousands of dollars for a series Of rec
ords, and the sale of these brings mil
lions to the manufacturers Indian
