ance, who had recently returned from a trip around
the world, "what was the secret of the Aeolian
Company's worldwide success?"
He had visited the principal cities of Australia

maintain in those cities. Everywhere he went he
had found Aeolian instruments in evidence and
universally regarded as the leading examples OF
their respective types.

spirit that pervades the whole organization and
has frequently been commented upon-that of
dissatisfaction with present results and the deter
m'nation to produce the best, whatever the instru-
ment or article might be.

EN- S1UCC VIC ANNOUNCED tUC -ACOlldH-
Vocation in the New York newspapers last
winter, there have been many surmises as
" to the policy this Company would pursue
in regard to it.
As the instrument has become better known
and its unusual features recognized, queries from
musicians, members of the music trade and others,
regarding our attitude have become so numerous
that it has been deemed advisable to make a pub
lie statement.
In the first place let me say that the Acolian-
Vocation was not designed to be what might be
called a popular phonograph"; that is to say, it
is not our intention to produce an enormous num-
Der annually, or to seek broadcast representation.
We believe the market is already well.supplied
with the very low-priced Instruments, and that
these admirably serve their purpose.
But it is with the phonograph that purports
to be a serious musical instrument-thati is adopted
for educational purposes and finds its way into
homes where music is known and appreciated
that the Aeolian.V Vocation has entered into com
petition.
This is not to be construed that the Aeolian-
Vocation is Unfortunately high-priced, or is not avail
able fort he lighter forms of musical entertainment,
such as dancing, ETC..
The reverse of this is the case, as its prices
are surprisingly moderate, considering its advan-
tages, while its unusual BODY and depth of tone
give it great "carrying' power for dancing. But,
as its character is such as to make it appeal most
strongly to people of musical taste, the Aeolian-
Vocation will be handled with the conservatism
such an instrument deserves.
We feel, as a matter Of fact, that the Aeolian-
Vocation is one of the most important musical
Instruments that have yet appeared.
The phonographitself occupies a peculiar field.
1t is the interpreter of all music, instrumental and
vocal. 1t appeals to every taste and is the most
practical and broadly useful means of supplying
music ever devised.
This company long ago realized the musical
possibilities of the phonograph. And, | may add,
that the decision to enter the field as a manufac-
turer was not made until it had proved its ability
to develop these possibilities.
The widespread comment that has been made
on the obvious superiority of the Aeolian-Vocalion
is a significant and gratifying tribute to the

This spirit is certainly brought to a very pro-
nounced naturalization in the Aeolian- Vocation.
have personally been in almost daily touch
with those responsible for it and have been
gratitied, and sometimes even amazed, at their
enthusiasm and csourcefulness
From the period, several years ago, when we
first began to investigate the possibility of de-
veloping the phonograph unsteady, until the
Aeollan-Vocalion was finally put upon the market,
their zeal has never tagged.
During this whole period, hardly a month
passed that did not bring to light some new dis
covery or new application of acoustical principles
which would tend to improve the phonograph.
Indeed, the only one of the Acolian -Vocalion's
important musical features not directly attribut-
able to the Aeolian Company's own staff, is the
device for controlling tone, known as the Gradu-
ola. This was the invention of Mr.. F. J. Empson
of Sydney, Australia, the exclusive rights of which
we secured two years ago.
In this connection it may not be amiss for me
TO remove a misconception which is sometimes
entertained regarding the Graduola.
Wonderful and entertaining as the phonograph
is, its value is seriously curtailed unless it possesses
some method of tone-controI.
That manufacturers have recognized this is
evidenced by the doors, shutters, ETC., with which
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-10-10

they have equipped their Instruments, the system
of interchangeable needles some provide, and by
dozens of inventions on record here and abroad.
MIR. Empson's invention provides the only
satisfactory method of tone-control vet produced
and has been adopted as an exclusive feature of
the Aeolian- Vocation.
While not arbitrary that is, it may be used
or ignored at will its advantage, when utilized,
is two-fold.
1t permits the introduction of delicate shad-
ings in tone-color, without actually changing an
artists own technique and expression, and thus
obviates "record monotony".
And it compensates for the recognized limit
alton in the present method of making records,
by enabling one to play with extreme delicacy
without smoihe,ing the tone with doors, or losing
any of its tints by using very soft needles.
Indeed, the Graduola, or some device equally
effective, is an essential part of any phonograph
which, like the Aeolian Vocation, makes its appeal
to people of genuine musical taste.
And this is the appeal which the Aeolian.
Vocation is designed to make.
We believe the monograph has an important
mission. But we also know that in the past it
has been subject to some measure Of criticism,
from people who were musical.
In the Aeolian Vocation this Company has
produced a phonograph which goes far towards
meeting this criticism, and it is the requirements
Of people of genuine musical taste and perception
that the 4Aeollan Vocation is designed to supply.
