A SMALL GRAND "STRAW"
Which Shows in What Direction the Trade Wind is Blow-
ing—It is Blowing Christmanward.
A
STRAW showing the growth in the
small grand trade.
A leading piano manufacturer
remarked last week: "We will have to
double our manufacturing department for
grand actions, so great has become the de-
mand for the small grand during the past
two years."
It would astonish some of the wise ones
of the trade to know how the Christman
Small Grand has developed.
There is no secret about it.
The Christman Small Grand has ad-
vanced in trade estimation by leaps and
bounds simply because it is the most re-
markable grand creation of its size in the
country.
That's a strong statement truly, but
Christman Sons stand ready to prove it.
Visit the big Christman factory at 597-
607 East 137th Street, New York, and have
a chat concerning the grand situation.
Look over the Christman Small Grand.
See the care and painstaking methods
employed in every stage of its construction.
See the many original features and best
of all test the scale—the soul of the piano.
You know the Christman Small Grand
has really a more wonderful scale than any
piano of its type.
There is no small grand piano five feet
over all which has such a tone.
It is rich—sonorous—and yet it has a
pure and bell-like quality which is rarely
ever heard even in the largest grand crea-
tions.
If you wish a grand which is absolutely
flawless—a dainty little creation which will
attract attention in your warerooms and
increase your sales—see Christman.

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 stagr 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.
