C., is now so well known to users of the phonograph and patrons of coin-slot machines, that The Phonogram, desiring to give its readers precisely what they want, irrespective of cost, has procured, after considerable effort and expense, the lino photograph of that without notes, more than five hundred different selections. Much of the music played by this band to the phonograph 1ms been arranged espe- cially by the band with a view to the best phonograph effects: and the patient ex- perimenting of Professor Bianchi, who is in charge of the musical deportment of the band while it is making records for the Columbia Phonograph Company. The photograph shows the baud in full uni- form, as it appears when playing for the President of the United States at the M hite House, on state occasions, or in the grounds of the White House in pleasant weather. This is, in many respects, the most.cele- brated band in the world. It can play. Columbia Phonograph Company, has borne fruit in an output of superior records. With regard to musical records, it may be here stated that any one possessing an ordinary knowledge of the phonograph can make them, but perfect records are only obtained by using the utmost care and precision in placing the horns and by the perfect running of the phonograph.
