LONDON, N o v e m b e r 21,
1896.
FTER a very thorough tour of the
music trade in this city, I can in-
form you with some pleasure that business
is phenomenally good. Everywhere manu-
facturers seem to be working overtime in
order to fill orders which they report are
away behind in delivery. In other indus-
tries, as well as the music trade, there
seems to be a complete revival of business
this autumn—so complete in fact that it is
the general impression that it is not here
to stay for any great length of time. But
as far as I can see, there is nothing to pre-
vent its continuance. Labor strikes, which
seem inevitable when times are good, may
crop up, but there is no use in inviting
trouble until it comes along; suffice it that
a big "boom" is now on, and manufactur-
ers really understand what it is to be busy.
A
CASE WORK—ENGLAND VS. GERMANY.
I have been much interested in the new
models and novelties which have been on
view in the showrooms of the different
houses this season. The marked improve-
ment in the exterior appearance of pianos
in general is certainly gratifying and may
be attributed to the competition of the
German instruments, which lately have
taken a "lead" as far as cabinet work is
concerned. In the olden days, the English
makers commanded quite a reputation for
their cabinet work, but as far as pianos and
organs are concerned, there has been little
evidence of artistic efforts in this line dur-
ing recent years. Your country has really
"set a pace"—particularly in the matter of
organs—with which we are unable to catch
up.
The Germans have taken a lesson,
evidently from the United States, and
some of the pianos of German manufacture
which are being sold in this city are cer-
tainly praiseworthy examples of artistic
case work. Rut as I remarked above, the
