1BUFFALO.
3BUFFALO, June 22, 1904.
5In last week's letter I gave an account of the program for the opening sessions of the New York Music Teachers' Convention at Niagara Falls, which opens June 27. In addition to what I have already mentioned the program for Wednesday will include talks on school music by Helen M. Place, of New York; Arthur L. Manchester, of Boston; Miss Julia Etta Crane, of Potsdam, and Thomas Dickenson, of Oberlin, followed by organ recitals by William Kaffenberger, Buffalo; H. Brooks Day, of New York, assisted by Clara Winsten, soprano. The program will be American compositions. In the evening there will be a chamber music concert by the Zielinski Trio Club. On Thursday morning there will be talks on musical training and its results through the instrumentality of organists, pianists and vocalists, the subjects being discussed by Wm. H. Sherwood and Louis Arthur Russell. On Thursday evening there will be a concert under the direction of Hermann Schorcht, assisted by Mrs. Shanna Cumming, soprano, and Leo Altman, violinist.
7Louis Bangert and Mr. Hoffmann announced a vocal and violin recital for last night at the home of Dr. Bodenbender, West Parade avenue. The program included Handel's A major sonata for violin and piano; vocal numbers by Rubinstein and Gounod, and violin solos by De Beriot, Lefort, D'Ambrosio and Spohr.
9Among the teachers who announce summer terms are Henry Dunman, of the Palace Arcade; Ch. Armand Cornelle, 666 Main street, and Mrs. Frances Helen Humphrey, of the Buckingham, Allen and Mariner streets. Arthur King Barnes, of New York, will spend his vacation here, and has arranged to study again with Mrs. Humphrey, whose specialty is operatic work. Mrs. Humphrey will take no vacation until after the middle of August.
11Miss Fanny Louise Griffiths, soprano, a pupil for three years (in Berlin) of George Fergusson, has met with flattering success as a vocal teacher since her return to Buffalo. Miss Griffiths has been engaged to sing during the summer months in the North Presbyterian Church Choir.
13Miss Flora Elbertine will give a pupils' demonstration of the "Burrowes course of music study" for children at the Colonial Club, 509 Lafayette avenue, next Saturday afternoon. Miss E. B. Dunn, her assistant, Miss Mildred Dye and Earl Schatlen, piano pupils, will play.
15Miss Eleanore Meyers will manage a concert at Springville, N. Y., on Friday evening of this week. Theo Dilaway will be the flutist, Miss Mary M. Howard piano accompanist.
17Much to my regret I was unable to attend the concert at Aeolian Hall on Monday evening, one of Mr. Balcom's series of Pianola recitals. I am told that Mr. Balcom again distinguished himself by his masterly control of the instrument. Under his manipulation it ceases to be a mechanical device. The Pianola accompaniment was also well liked in connection with the singing of "In a Persian Garden"; the solo and concerted work was given by the Lyric Quartet; the members are Miss Gertrude Lamb, soprano; Mrs. Minehan, alto; Dr. Frankenstein, tenor; Mr. McCreary, bass, all of whom are pupils of Henry Dunman (one exception being Mrs. Minehan). Mr. Dunman has coached them faithfully. On Wednesday night the Lyric Quartet are to sing at a memorial service at the International Hotel, Niagara Falls. The principal numbers on the program will be "Sing Hallelujah Forth" (Buck), "A Prayer" (Chadwick), "A Psalm of Life" (Hanscombe), "Refrain Thy Voice From Weeping" (Dr. Frankenstein), "The Lord Is My Light" (Alitsen), Mr. McCreary.

21A Novel Invention for Violins.
23According to news just received from The Graduating Tone Post Company, 27 East Twenty-second street, New York city, a new chapter for the history of violin construction seems to be initiated. An old, practical violin maker has just completed an invention which he calls a graduating tone post. This post is intended to take the place of the ordinary sound post found in all string instruments. The inventor claims wonderful things for his post. It is said to make a cheap trade fiddle equal in sound to an old Italian masterpiece. The new post consists of many sound passages and tubes, and of one longer post which takes the place of the ordinary sound post. This entire arrangement is very small and is inserted through the sound hole. The sound passages are said to increase the power of an instrument, make its vibration much stronger and produce a full, mellow and exceedingly sweet tone, taking out the wood or new tone altogether. Well known musicians have endorsed this invention, as was shown us by the manufacturers. This new post is also said to keep instruments in perfect tune in any kind of weather. If all this is as claimed Ben Akiba once more meets defeat, and the invention will soon be known by all who play violins and other string instruments.
