From the html page:
"At the turn of the century, Italian music, especially opera, popular songs and instrumental music, was very popular in Buffalo and throughout the United States. Italian-American bands including the Scinta band (Buffalo) and the Fanciulli band (New York), played at the Exposition and were in high demand for concerts, dances and social events. There were no microphones or electric amplifiers, and recorded music on wax cylinders was only available to the wealthy. Below are pictures of Buffalo's Scinta Band, directed by Serafino Scinta and the University of Buffalo's 1901 Mandolin Club."
