HE series of Lenten recitals at the JEo-
Han Co.'s handsome recital hall at 18
West Twenty-third street, are proving im-
mensely popular, and business with the
^Eolian instruments is correspondingly sat-
isfactory. The following is the program
for to-day. Mention should be made of the
tasty program brochures, which are only in
keeping with all of the artistic efforts of
the ^Eolian Co.:

The Reimers Separable Piano.
A
N excellent idea of the Reimers sepa-
rable piano, made by the Reimers
Piano Co., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., can be
gleaned from the illustrations which appear
in another part of this paper. To look at
the complete piano one would never think
that it was separable, the connection is so
cleverly made.
The principle upon which the Reimers
piano is built is undoubtedly the best
known to-day. It insures the solidity and

flector.
HERE are "talking points" and "talk-
ing points"; some, by their nature,
ornamental; others, useful. The Brau-
muller tone deflector presents, from both a
utilitarian and aesthetic standpoint, the
happy combination. We take pleasure in
presenting an illustration of this valuable
invention, the main purport of which is to
secure the full tonal effects of the instru-
ment, and at the same time to permit the
owner to indulge in the questionable but—
apparently to most people—necessary prac-
tice of utilizing the top of the instrument
for the display of bric-a-brac, etc.
The patent tone deflector, used in all
styles of the Braumuller instruments, is in
the form of an artistic panel, which opens
along the entire length of the instrument,
in no way interfering with the action of the
music desk. To be fully appreciated the
invention should be carefully examined.
The idea is excellent, and it has been well
carried out.
