Halleti Davis Pianos
The "Crown" Piano.
"When Music, heavenly maid was young, "
She woke the echoes with her song,
The beasts and birds enraptured hung,
While hills and vales the notes prolong.
But now, O joy ! an earthly maid
Can charm us thro' her finger tips.
The " Crown " piano deftly played
All others must in time eclipse.
So pure, so sweet, so rich in tone,
Some Solon should a word invent,
A score of adjectives in one,
To tell the world how excellent,
How unsurpassed the model shown,
The " Crown " Piano stands alone.
GRAND, SQUARE AND UPRIGHT.
Indorsed by Liszt, Gottschalk, Wehli, Bendel, Straus, Soro, Abt,
Paulus, Titiens, Heilbron and Germany's Greatest Masters.
