REPRODUCTION PROBLEM
NOT BEGUN TO TACKLE IT "I refuse to helieve that we have even begun to deal with the problem of perfect reproduction,” said Compton Mackenzie, in an address, .to the London Musical Society. "The road to improvement is beset by many difficulties. The. publication of records is in the hands of a very few firms, and very few know how to record. We are getting splendid music and better recording now, but the instruments themselves are 20 years behind the recording room.” [Mr Mackenzie spoke of a recent invention by an amateur which, when put into use would, for a trifling' expense, improve reproduction to such an extent that it would revolutionise recording. He blamed the apathy of musical people for the lack of progress of the gramophone They should choose their gramophone with the same interest and care that they would give to the selection of a violin or piano.
