50 WOOD-USING INDUSTRIES OF NORTH CAROLINA. 



MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 



Seven woods are listed in the manufacture of musical instruments, 

 as shown in Table 24. High-grade oak and black walnut, in equal 

 quantities, head this list. Eighty-four per cent of the black walnut 

 manufactured in North Carolina goes into musical instruments, and 

 54 per cent of the sycamore is so used. White pine is reported at the 

 low price of $12 per M, its chief use being for crating material and 

 organ boxes. Next to vehicle manufacture, musical instruments draw 

 the largest comparative quantity of their wood from forests outside of 

 North Carolina. The products are not varied, reed organs, cabinet 

 organs, and pipe organs alone being manufactured.
