Steinert Outing.
J^jEMBERS of the New Haven Sym-
| | phony Orchestra, and other friends
interested in music, were the guests of Mr.
Morris Steinert, the distinguished musician
and dealer of New Haven, Conn., on a
most enjoyable outing and musical feast
given Sunday last at Pawson Park. It
is the custom of Mr. Steinert to give the
orchestra a dinner every year, and it is rec-
ognized as one of the delightful affairs of
each season by the many artists whom he;
has gathered together in the Symphony
Orchestra. There was a large party present.
Mr. Steinert led the orchestra in the open-
ing number of the musical program and
won for himself and his fellow musicians
repeated encores. After dinner he re-
sponded to a warm greeting in a very
happy speech.
Great Britain's Trade in Musical
Instruments.
C
OMMENTING on the annual report of
the export and import trade in Great
Britain for the past year, our esteemed
London contemporary, the "Music Trades
Review," says: We may, however, point
out that our total trade in musical instru-
ments now nearly approaches a million and
a quarter sterling, but that, on the other
hand, although the total exports of British-
made musical instruments amount to
under ,£160,000, the imports are now very
nearly a million, of which no fewer than
,£946,732 worth have during the year re-
mained in this country. Germany and
Holland alone sent over ,£"670,000 worth of
musical instruments to England—that is.
to say, mpre-tban four times our own total
exports. The figures, which are seriously
instructive T speak for themselves.

elry and musical merchandise business in

J. & C. FISCHER,
Sales are Made
in these fin de siecle days by men who are
thoroughly conversant down to the minut-
est details with that which they offer to
prospective customers. A piano salesman
will obtain much more satisfactory results
if he acquaints himself with the mystery of
the action and technical analysis of the
instrument. He can do this
By Studying
"The Piano"
the best book ever written, and so pro-
nounced by the highest experts, on the art
of tuning and regulating. It thoroughly
acquaints the reader with the grand, the
upright, the square piano on a scientific
basis. It is illustrated with carefully
designed diagrams accurately numbering
and naming each part of the instrument.
It should be in every salesman's library.
Tuners, whether arnateurs or experts,
recognize it as the standard work of their
craft. No "kit" is complete without it.
Cloth bound, over one hundred pages.

ASK QUESTIONS:
When a piano manufacturer tells you
his pianos are the best, and that no others
are worth considering, ask questions.
Ask him "Why?"
As a matter of fact most pianos are
good; the makers would bi f^li'k *~ ^
other than their best.
The differences between them are
small, but small things are very im-
portant.
It is by excelling m many little things
that the WESER PIANO is lifted above
the common mediocrity of pianodom.
Maybe it's the greater elasticity of the
hammers, our new duett uesk or our
Practice pedal—both patented—which
altogether make so many dealers persist
in having the Weser Piano.
Talk to us about it.
