PADEREWSK1_A_STRONG MAN.
81
HARDMAN, FMECK & COMPANY
Paderewski can crack a pane of French plate
glass a half inch in thickness by simply placing one
hand upon it as in playing the piano, and striking
vigorously and suddenly with his middle finger, ac-
cording to an exchange. It is calculated that a
force equal to six pounds is thrown on a single key
in playing heavy passages. In playing Chopin's
etude in C minor it is estimated that a total pressure
of three tons is required, although the piece lasts
only two minutes. If all this be true, it would seem
as if the mere muscular exertion of giving a two-
hour piano recital like Paderewski is equal to that
required to ascend the Matterhorn. Add to this an
equal amount of -brain work. And yet thousands
of frail girls are brave enough to desire to become
concert pianists!

It's what is inside of the Sterling that has made its repu-
tation. Every detail of its construction receives thorough
attention from expert workmen—every material used in its
construction is the best—absolutely. That means a piano
of permanent excellence in every particular in which a
piano should excel. The dealer sees the connection between
these facts and the universal popularity of the Sterling.

Dealers who are forced to meet
heavy competition in the commer-
cial grades will find the Gerhard
line ideal. Of the Gerhard it can be truthfully
said that it is the "most" piano in the country
for the money.
