A MUSICAL PEN
Have you ever heard of one? If you have a gramophone you should have
done, for this music pen is the super gramophone needle--its proper
name being Tone Pen, and it is a tiny _hollow_ pen of specially
tempered metal. The reason why the Tone Pen is hollow is important. The
solid needle dulls the tone, and after a while wears out the record.
The _hollowness_ of the Tone Pen enables it to translate the most
exquisite and delicate tones. By fixing the Tone Pen point outwards
you get the greatest volume of sound, by turning it sideways you get a
softer, mellower tone.
_And, above all_, you can play from 80 to 100 records with one Tone
Pen. You can keep the gramophone going the whole evening without
bothering to change the needle. You have to change the ordinary needle
with every record. That means constant jumping up and down and fiddling
with the gramophone. The Tone Pen saves you, saves your gramophone,
gets the very best out of the records, and makes the words of songs
beautifully clear, which are often unintelligible with other needles.
