If all the violin players in the world were gathered together, you would not find among them more than a hundred bald men. But among the musicians who play wind instruments (such as trumpets, clarinets, saxophones, etc.) of every kind, bald heads multiply at a staggering rate.

Experts and scientists agree that the music of stringed instruments has the power to make the hair of the head grow, and experiments have yielded brilliant results. They explain this by saying that constant blowing into musical and other instruments affects the circulation of the blood, preventing the necessary quantity of blood from reaching the roots of the hair so that it may grow naturally.
