Compos-a-Tune

Now, here’s an old one I forgot to show you before and I can’t believe it because it has 16 wheels in one chart! This Compos-a-Tune was copyrighted in 1944 and, for the non-musician like me, is completely incomprehensible.

Stats: This chart measures 16.375 by 6.5. Each side appears the same, but they are not the same. One is labeled Side No. 1 and the other Side No. 2! I’m thinking you start your tune composition on Side No. 1 and continue on to the other side. You decide. The chart indicates that a separate set of detailed instructions are included. I don’t believe we have those.

I think you’ll agree that this one is a pretty fancy chart. I’ll bet it’s fun to play with.
