Tlu� MUSIC BOX
with a.y
A person's appreciation of music �classical or popular�will be deep-cned in no small manner by getting to kno\> tKc different instruments that go to make up a symphony or dance orchestra even though he or she may not be able to read a line of music. And it can be fun too! So, for those of you v�ho haS'eiVt had the opportunity of studying about flic chief musrcal instruments I'd'like to devote a few columns to the subject,
A physicist will teU you that basically thefe are only three different classes of musical instruments, and he will cjo on to teU you that music (not noise) is created 6y either one of the following three methods:
< U By vibrating strings stretched in the air (violin, harpyrjciitar).
(2) By setting in motion the air enclosed in wood or metal tubes or pipes (clarinet, trumpet),
(3) By beating elastic or .metal surfaces which are in contact with the air (drums, cymbals, bells),
in short, the physicist will tell you thah these are th& main classes: (1) string instruments;1 (2) woodwinds and "brass-winds"; ~(3) "pdrcus$ion~ instm='~ ments.
The musician finds it more convenient to put the woodwinds ,and the "brass-winds" into two separate classes. Accordingly, he has four different groups and \ shall use this classification However, we'll bump into some instruments/ suchf as the saxophone and piano,-which don't belong, strictly spealdngr to any one group alone. But we'll take this matterJup in due co'urse,
Well therv let's, see just what sort of instruments we can name under
The Best Place
- Did you know that more and more well-dressed Niseiettes arc beginning to shop regularly at Modistes?
The reason is ^obvious. Not only do they offer the most outstanding .values in ladies' apparel at popular prices, but also lire'smaHest* and "mosffashion-able.
Your individualism can be expressed too, since they'have such wid& selections. And 'you1!! find what you're looking for/
If you wish to be truly well dressed, arid not spend too much money, then the best place for you to shop is at Modiste's, and now, while their JULY SALE .is on.

Sttinji: In this group the most important \ is the violin or plain "fiddle" Among its relatives are the viola, viotincello (better known by its short name ''cello"�pronounce the "c" as the "ch" in children) and the double-bass or "bull" fiddle.
More distantly related are the guitar, Hawaiian guitar, mandolin and banjo. Although in shape the harp doesn't look a bit h'Ke a violin, still by virtue of its strings i{ belongs
to this group of musical instruments.
* * *
Woodwinds or "reeds": Thanks to Benny Goodman and Arfie Shaw the clarinet and other woodwinds have been lifted from their comparative' obscurity to a more glorified place in the orchestra. There ore many (over fifteen) kinds of woodwinds, but for our practical knowledge we shall limit the field to the flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn,
bassoon and clarinet.
* ,* �
Brasswinds: The history of brass instruments is long-and fascinating, and traces the development of the vatveless horn to its present descendants, such as the. cornet,- trumpet,
TromBone,luba^ancl~the French horn.
* � >
Percussion: -When we get to the question of percussion instruments we run right into the difficulty of having so-called musicaf instruments which are definitely unmusical, such as the mechanical drum/ tambourine (ask a gypsy for one>, triangle, cymbals and gong. On the other hand, strange as it may seem, the "kettledrums" ore musical and so are. the belfs^ and" of course- the xylophone.
Starting next week. I shall take up Jhe instruments in detail.
