kept for use, but a grand is usually in active
requisition, oftentimes by experts. This
means that whereas an upright action may
be inferior in quality without the defects
being readily detected, a grand action must
be of excellent quality, if the piano maker
places any value at all on his reputation."
"What special merits do you claim, Mr.
Palle, for the Schwander grand action?"
"For both grand and upright Schwander
actions," was Mr. Palle's reply, "we claim
superior power, elasticity, responsiveness
and lightness of touch. Our actions are
strictly reliable in every instance, easy to
understand, easy to regulate, and fitted for
any climate. We use only the best American
and European woods and take the whole
world as a field for selection. Makers of
standard pianos are recognizing these facts
widely nowadays, hence it is that our factory
is always in full swing and our men are
never idle."
