porter of The Register today. It is claimed by the inventor that the huge horn will fill the largest theater in the world and that the sound moreover, is equal in volume to an orchestra of seven pieces. Those who heard the test to-day feel convinced that Mr. Edison has made his estimate conservatively. To begin with there is less of the brassiness to the tone that issues from this great horn, both as regards the voice and the band. In making his test to-day Mr. Tuttle chose a march, a waltz, a quartet of male voices and a solo. There is no reason why the giant machine should not be used at dances. The rhythm of its music is perfect, because the best orchestras in the country are secured to make the records. In any event the waltz record Mr. Tuttle used to-day was as tempting as any Lander has ever wielded his baton for. There is, of course, no limit to the records, in spite of the fact that they measure five inches in diameter and cost many times more than the ordinary record for the ordinary machine. In making this giant horn, Mr. Edison had in mind exactly such occasions as the machine will be put to on May 7th. In addition to playing for the dances at Warner Hall, the Phonograph will entertain the dancers during the serving of supper with songs, records made by noted vaudeville and opera singers. A prominent Meriden woman has also engaged this Pho- nograph for a large house party she is to give on May 13th. The Concert Phonograph will differ from smaller machines of its kind because of the exclusiveness of its band records. It advent marks an epoch in the world of Phono- graph and all instruments of that character. L
