A "modern Stradivarius" of the clarinet is Frank L. Kaspar of 1715 Morton Ave. Kaspar is one of this country's foremost experts on the technical aspects of woodwind instruments. Though he is retired, musicians constantly demand his services. He is shown here making some of the minute measurements necessary to produce a perfectly fitted clarinet mouthpiece, needed to achieve the accurate tone quality demanded by great woodwind players.

Electronic Music Equipment Maker William B. Ribbens of 627 Center, a partner of Cybersonics, tests a solid-state electronic instrument which emits a wide range of sounds that can be recorded on magnetic tape by a composer. The composer cuts and splices the tape to form a new composition. Electronic music is a new, experimental art form depicted by sounds that many persons have not heard before. Cybersonics manufactures instruments mostly for composers and schools.
