PIANOS
HEINRICH GEBHARD,
Piano Soloist With Pittsburg Or-
chestra This Week:
"Tho Mason & Hamlin Pianos have
all the elements which make for per-
fection in a pianoforte; beautiful
quality of tone, power, brilliancy, as
well as an excellently working mech-
anism.
"The tone is one of surpass-
ing beauty, characterized by a
singing quality which suggests
the human voice. I congratu-
late you on these wonderful in-
struments."

Are in no sense competitors of any other pianos.
There are several instruments of fine quality made
in America, but to the musician of the present, Mason
& Hamlin Pianos offer qualities of touch and tone not
possessed by any other piano.
While Mason & Hamlin pianos are more costly
than any other pianos, the difference in price is no
more than justified by the superior qualities of these
remarkable instruments.
All Mason & Hamlin grands are equipped with
the patented tension resonator which preserves—per-
manently—the arch or crown of the soundboard, there-
by insuring the life of the tone of the piano.

CHARLES MARTIN LOEFFLER,
Impresario, whose genius has been fully evi-
denced in the magnificent productions of the
Boston Opera Company at the Nixon Theater
this week, has recently written the following
letter:
Composer, Violinist, whose "Pagan
Poem'' is given by the Pittsburg Or-
chestra this week—with Mr. Gebhard
at the piano—says of the Mason &
Hamlin :
"It is a great pleasure to tell
you of my admiration for your
beautiful pianos.
I have al-
ways been impressed with their
great beauty of tone and their
unusual capacity for expressive-
ness and brilliancy, which make
your pianos so justly famous."
" M y Dear Mr. Mason: I write to say that the
Mason & Hamlin Piano has been selected as the
official piano of the Boston Opera Company because
of its wonderful and unequaled artistic merits, which
so pre-eminently justify and explain its international
reputation.
"I believe your pianos are an important factor in
the artistic whole of our opera scheme, and in se-
lecting them for our use and for the use of our artists,
I have been led to my decision by a realization of
the facts which make the Mason & Hamlin piano
unique—an artistic creation without equal."
WALLACE GOODRICH,
Conductor Boston Opera Co., at
the Nixon This Week,
while Dean of the New England Con-
servatory of Music, wrote to .Mr.
Mason :
"Your pianos are pre-emi-
nently
sympathetic
to
the
player in both touch and tone;
the
latter
is admirable
in
quality and sonority.
"The wide recognition of the
merits of these beautiful pianos
must be no less gratifying to
you than to your friends."
VINCENT D'lHDY,
Conductor and one of the foremost
modern French composers, whose
symphonic poem, "Summer Day on
the Mountain," is one of the features
of this week's Pittsburg Orchestra
program, says of the Mason & Ham-
lin instruments:
"Your pianos are remarkable
for their quality of expressive
sonority, which commends them
to all those who see in music
an art addressing itself to the
heart, rather than a pretext for
virtuosity."
Similar recognition of the superb qualities of Mason & Hamlin pianos has been given by such celebrated conductors as Emil Paur, Arthur
Nikisch, Felix Weingartner, Dr. Carl Muck, Moritz Moszkowski, Emil Mollenhauer, George W. Chadwick, Max Zach, Walter Damrosch and others.
Harold Bauer, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Rudolph Ganz, Katherine Goodson, Tina Lerner, Antoinette Szumowska and other
noted pianists are enthusiastic over the Mason & Hamlin. Singers, violinists, cellists and other great stars of the musical world, such as Mme.
Gadski, Mme. Jeanne Jomelli, Sig. G. Campanari, Fritz Kreisler, Arthur Hartmann, Franz Kneizel, the Flonzaley Quartet, have expressed themselves
with equal enthusiasm.
