"THE GREATEST GRAND EVER"!!!!
This Was the Expression Of a Keen, Discriminating, Success-
ful Piano Dealer After He Had Seen and
Tested the Christman.
M blessed if I ever saw such a grand
in my life.
"Why, it beats any five foot and
a half grand on the market.
"It has got a tone quality that is amazing
and I do not see how you do it."
The above words were expressed by a well-
known dealer upon the occasion of his visit to
the Christman factory at 597-601 East 137th
Street, New York.
This man was an expert.
Years ago he was a tuner.
He saved his money and sold a few pianos.
Bye and bye he branched out as a dealer and
he has been successful and he knows a piano
from the ground up.
He could build one, because his early ex-
perience included an apprenticeship at one of
the old New York factories.
He went all over the Christman—took it
apart as it were—took dimensions—took meas-
urements—went into the subject in a most
exhaustive manner, and when he completed his
examination he gave utterance to the most en-
thusiastic expressions, one of which appears
above.
It is the same old story—no matter which
way you turn.
Dealers are taken with the Christman
product.
They do not view it merely as an ordinary
grand proposition, but an extraordinary one.
They know first that it has a daintiness and
grace which appeals irresistibly and it is ad-
mitted there is nothing prettier in piano con-
struction than a beautiful small grand.
Then, best of all, is the tone, which is a
wonder.
Now, this is going to be a small grand year.
Are you on the right side?
If not, get Christman to put you there.

Another Technical Work
on Piano Player Mechanism!
The first edition of a book entitled "Regulation and Repair of
Piano and Player Mechanism, Together with Tuning as Science
and Art" is now on the press.
It covers the player field completely and is really two books in one.
It is handsomely bound, illustrated, and contains a vast amount of
instructive matter which will be of great value to dealers and salesmen—
in fact to all those who are interested in piano player development.
It will be sent to any address in the United States postpaid upon
receipt of $1.50. Foreign Countries, $1.65.
Other technical works which we have issued are:
" Theory and Practice of
Pianoforte Building "
"THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PIANO-
FORTE BUILDING" is the only book
ever put forth in the English lan-
guage wherein piano making is intel-
ligently treated. * There are various
illustrations in this book and it tells
all about the piano in every stage of
its development. It is a book which
should be in the library of everyone
interested in the piano. Dealers and
salesmen can talk the piano more
intelligently when they know all
about it. The book contains nearly
two hundred pages, is beautifully
bound in cloth and illustrated.
" The Piano or Tuner's
Guide "
is the standard work upon tuning in
this country and it has been endorsed
by dealers and repairers everywhere.
No music dealer should be without a
copy. This book contains nearly one
hundred pages, is handsomely bound
in cloth, and illustrated.

ism, how to play, how to repair. All
the parts are named and it is a
technical work of the greatest value
to everyone interested in player de-
velopment. It is the only work of
its kind ever published. An absolute
necessity to every dealer, repairer
and salesman.
