In the fall of 1893, Mr. Adelstein went to the Columbia Exposition at Chicago to view the various collections
of instruments.
In May, 1894, he left for a tour of the world, giving several concerts en route. The Hawaiian Bulletin of
Honolulu* July 18, 1894, says:— " Mr. Adelstein has a masterly touch of the strings, and there is little
doubt that the lute could not have had a better introduction to our music lovers."
The Yokohama Japan Mail, October l0th, says, — "As a mandolinist, Mr. Adelstein can hold his own with the best
masters of the instrument.
With the lute he obtained the most delicate shades of expression,mingled with broad, almost cello effects,
when rendering some dainty pieces from the works of Schubert, Musso and Mascagni."
The Japan Herald, October 15th, says: — Mr. Adelstein handles it as only a master can, and we trust he may
resolve to give another concert in Yokohama."
The Box of Curios, October 28th, says: — " He is undoubtedly all that has been claimed for him by competent
critics — a master."
On the eve of his departure from Japan he was invited to perform for the Royal Family, at a concert given for
the benefit of the soldiers wounded in the war, by the Red Cross Society, under the patronage of the Imperial
Family.
Mr. Adelstein was also offered a position in the Royal Conservatory of Tokio, but his Bohemian propensities
drove him on around the world.
