HERR HUMPERDINCK'S ENDORSEMENT OF*
Weber Pianos
T
HE latest of the great musicians to express unbounded enthusiasm for the Weber Piano is Engelbert Humperdinck,
the distinguished composer of " Haensel und Gretel," the intimate friend of the great Wagner, and one of the
original conductors of "Parsifal," at Beyreuth. Upon the eve of returning home from his first visit to this country,
Herr Humperdinck voluntarily sent the following autograph-letter to the Weber Piano Company :
(TRANSLATION)
WEBER PIANO COMPANY, Aeolian Hall, New York.
Dear Sirs.—You were gracious enough to place at my disposal during my stay
in New York .one of your excellent grand pianos. I am charmed with the superior
merit of this instrument, and I wish to testify that in the details of volume, clear-
ness and beauty of tone, this instrument is to be reckoned among the highest stan-
dards of the various kinds of pianos known to me.
With greatest esteem,
The Weber is given preference over any other piano by the Conned Metropolitan Opera Company and many other dis-
tinguished authorities at home and abroad. By the most critical judges, the Weber Piano is to-day accepted as the representa-
tive of the artistic piano-forte in its highest development.
