THE ROLLER CANARY -- 
followed again by Hollow Bell and Flutes, than one 
which starts with Bass or H.R., and closes with a Bell 
that never seems to end. The cocks under the first kind 
of tutor will almost all start with Bell or Hollow Bell, 
but they will not make their song with Bell a yard long. 
Such a bird gives also a more pleasing effect than the one 
which starts deep and finishes up with Bell; the effect 
of the deep tour is spoilt thereby. 
SONGS OF STRENGTH AND BEAUTY 
Deep, full-toned tutors who start with their prime 
tours will bring their whole strength to bear on the 
lighter, easier ones, and these latter will, therefore, 
always be high, if not even sharp. On the other hand, 
those birds who start somewhere on the higher tours will 
bring their strength and beauty to bear on the succeeding 
tours, and so bring the song to a good finish. 
Beware, however, that your tutor does not start with 
too long a Bell, nor must he repeat it. Such a tutor must 
sing correctly, and without a break or interruption, other- 
wise the youngsters lose the connecting links, and this, 
when there are many in school, brings desperate 
confusion. 
It is always best when Bell comes in the middle of 
the song; it makes a pleasing change when followed by 
Bass or H.R. To understand the effect one needs to 
listen to a songster who drops into a full round Bass or 
H.R. after a somewhat high-pitched Bell. 
To a trained ear this is a delight, and such a bird, 
moreover, is a good one to make use of even if his Bell 
stands out a little too conspicuously in his song. 
The next point to consider is as to what faulty tours
