Hollow Bell to the sound of a larger, and Schockel to 
that of a big bell. 
Schockel has been described as a long, lowly-drawn- 
out Hollow Bell tour. A fine exhibition of true, deep 
Schockel is where the beat is first slow, then quickens, 
the tone at the same time gaining in volume, a wonderful 
intensity of fullness; the beats then slow down again and 
gradually die away. 
Schockel is never “bent,” because it is a dis- 
continuous tour. The notes of Hollow Roll are strung 
together in one unbroken (continuous) chain, and, like 
a chain, may be bent. The notes in Schockel, on the 
contrary, do not form a run, they consist of a succession 
of beats separated by tiny pauses or intervals, and there- 
fore can only rise and fall. The diversity in modulation, 
the change in the variety, which deep Schockel brings in 
alongside Hollow Roll heighten its value. There is a 
general desire to hear this tour in our present-day 
songster, and for that reason it is very much sought after. 
™ conclusion we would say that Schockel is deep sister 
to Hollow Bell. 
GLUCK 
In Gluck the best ground tones are u and o, the good 
are © and i, the fair to faulty are a, e, 6, 4, i. The 
consonants are gl, kl, bl:—Gluk-gluk-gluk, glok-glok- 
glok, etc. Blukluk-blukluk, bloklokloklok, etc. 
In the Gluck tours and their variations the separate 
(discontinuous) syllables are plainly distinguishable. 
The tonality in the deeper kinds of Gluck is better in 
measure as the syllables are more distinctly divided off. 
If the consonants are brought too closely together, that
