MME. SEMBRICH'S BALDWIN
PIANO.
A very excellent snapshot picture was
taken of the Baldwin grand as it was leaving
the factory of the D. H. Baldwin Co,, Cin-
cinnati, and was about being placed upon
the express to be forwarded to New York
where it accompanied Mme. Marcella Sem-
brich, the great diva, on her journey to Eu-
rope last week by the "Kaiser Wilhelm der
Zweite." The piano is billed for Dresden,
Germany, Mme. Sembrich's home. Only
quite recently we published the very com-
plimentary words regarding this instrument
uttered by Mme. Sembrich, who, in all her
recitals in this country the past season used
the Baldwin exclusively.

Gentlemen:—The last piano shipped has
arrived in good condition and is in every way
satisfactory; also all former shipments, so
you see we have no complaint to make re-
garding your pianos, and only hope they will
maintain the good start they have made.
