(Special to The Review.)
Tampa, Fla., May 15, 1905.
What will be the largest organ in Florida was
ordered yesterday by the trustees of the First
Methodist Church of this city, and will be in-
stalled in the church in the course of the next
few months.
The deal for the sale of the organ was closed
yesterday by George Benton Neeley, supervising
architect of the Barckhoff Organ Co., of Pom-
eroy, O., through the Turner Music Co., of this
city. The big instrument is to cost $2,500, will
have 1,097 pipes, and will be, by 300 pipes, the
largest organ in the State of Florida.
Mr. Neeley returns at once to the factory to
supervise the construction of the big organ and
will return here with it in 90 days, to place it in
position in the church.

A Rare Collection in the Parlors of the Jenkins
Music Store.
(Special to The Review.)
Kansas City, Mo., May 13, 1905.
The rarest and most valuable collection of art
pianos ever shown in this city is on exhibition
in the parlors of the Jenkins music house. Among
them is the famous "Wave" piano made by Stein-
way & Sons for the St. Louis World's Fair. The
case of this piano is of white hard maple, so
carved that it seems covered with waves. The
panels represent the majestic waterways of New
York, beginning at the entrance of the noble har-
bor, continuing up the Hudson to Albany, from
thence along the systems of artificial waterways
through the beautiful Mohawk Valley and on to
Lake Erie. On the music rack is shown a sun-
set on Lake Erie. On the top a large picture rep-
resents the American Falls of Niagara, with its
eternal rush and roar, as seen from Goat Island.
Another Steinway piano in this exhibit is in
exquisite figured mahogany in Louis XIV. style,
beautifully inlaid. This piano was over a year in
building.
There is also shown the first piano built in
183G by Henry E. Steinway, founder of the house
of Steinway & Sons.
