The Solotone Phonogra
Plays Everything Well
We tried three typical records an c
quisitc violin selection with orchestra;
high soprano with piano and a powniful
tenor and baritone duet with orchestra.
The low, throbbing tones of th uuh
were distinctly lecordcd and perfect in
ibration and the high tones were clear
and pure.
One of the best features of the Solotcm
was illustrated in flip recording of the
s.oprano solo the high, full notes came
forth as clear as bell tones none of thf
blaring sounds that are so disagreeable.
The piano accompaniment was excellent,
too; you will notice the excellent recording
of piano notes on the Solotone.
And the rendering of one of our fine.-t
male duets in operu was beyond rep roach
both the orchestral und vocal parts.
The price is $10u, payable at once, or
$5 down and $5 monthly
