“OUR ROTH VIOLINS look beautiful. sound beautiful. and are beautiful!” Thus members of the string quartets at Eastman School of Music appraised their matched quartet of Ernst Heinrich Roth violins. The young musicians attended the Compreht'nsive String Institute held at Eastman this year. Their director, John P. Ct?lentano, Professor of Chamber Music, wrote- “It was a pleasur(' to hear the lovely Roth instruments and to notf' how successfully they brought out the talent and skil I of students.* Speaking for quartet members, one added, "We al I appreciated the perfect adjustment of our Roth instruments, their brilliance and response. The tones of all four project so easily-great for string quartet balance!” Mr. Celentano and his talented students agree with us that EVERYONE WINS when students have really good instruments to make the most of their ability and to progress properly.

Don't settle for less than Roth. You owe it to your students, your orchestras and to yourself.

Mr. Melvin Cirdova, Superintendent of Cuba Schools, stated that he had studied the stated f'\jrpo^es and objectives of the NMIilEA AJI-State Music Festival and Convention and concluded that Associatitui was doing what it had stated. He thought there was more emphasis for teacher inservicc. than for students. although he was not sure. He presented for study and consideration the following outline: A . Change philosophy to more emphasis on studrnts at the f:fra^, ro^ts. B. Each local director would select students hy a given standard to go to district music f^tival and audition.
