Knabes for Schools.
THE FIRST OF THE ORDER ON EXHIBITI
ODD PROVISO.
The first of the Knabe pianos, style P, to
be delivered to New York City High
vSchools, is now on view at the Knabe ware-
rooms on Fifth avenue. There are eight
ordered in mahogany cases, and the re-
mainder are now in course of completion.
It will be remembered from previous state-
ments in The Review that the order for
these instruments was the outcome of a
competition among twenty-two manufac-
turers.
There was a time when a controversy
arose and the Board wrote Knabe & Co.
asking if, in the event of the order being
divided between their firm and another
house, the estimate as to cost would remain
the same. The firm replied that they be-
lieved it would be advantageous in every
respect for the High Schools to be fully
supplied with Knabe pianos, giving reasons
for their opinion, at the same time de-
clining to cast aspersions on the products
of any competitor. Finally the firm said
that if it were decided to divide the order,
they preferred to withdraw from the con-
test. This brought about a stormy debate.
In the end the entire order was given in
their favor.
In connection with this contract, an odd
provision has been made by the Board of
Education. The back of each piano sup-
plied must be covered entirely with wood
and hermetically sealed. It has been
pointed out to the Board that this addition
cuts off at least one-third of the volume of
sound, an important consideration when
instruments are to be played in large
school-rooms and by ladies. The latest
advices are to the effect that the original
order must be carried out in every case.
