Irwin:

The three major European cantorial journals from this period were: 

1. Di Chasanim-Velt, (Yiddish), Warsaw: 1933-1939. Monthly. Title changed in 
1936 to Di Shul un di chasanim Velt.

2. Der Juedische Kantor (German),  Bromberg: 1879-1898, vols. 1-20. Weekly.
     Der Juedische Kantor, Hamburg: 1927-1938, vols. 1-12. Bi-monthly.

3. Oesterreichisch-Ungarische Cantoren-Zeitung (German), Vienna: 1881-1912. 
From 1899, a supplement to Die Wahrheit. Title changed periodically in[?] 
Allgemeine Kantoren Zeitung.

These entries are from: Sendrey, Alfred, Bibliography of Jewish Music, NY: 
Coumbia University Press, 1951.

We have Chasonim Velt here, complete, on microfilm. I believe HUC-Cincinnatti 
has both Chasonim Velt and Juedische Kantor complete.

I would appreciate you posting anything you find out about the accessibility of 
these journals.

Thanks and Good Shabbes,
