ONE, style, beauty . . . and the greatest of these is tone! Style is not
T called enough.
Beauty is not enough. If an instrument is worthy of being
a piano it must have those qualities in full measure. But in addi-
tion, it must have rich, vibrant tone. The new Crestwood, Series 800,
Cable-Nelson console is a piano which fulfills those requirements
in every way.
Its trim, graceful styling, the exquisite beauty of its cabinet-work
and nicely figured veneers make it a most welcome addition to the
decorative scheme of any room interior. The Crestwood is so small in
size, so dainty in appearance that it is difficult to realize that a piano
which fits into the smallest home or apartment can produce such
splendid tone. For, as is the case with all Cable-Nelsons., the first con-
sideration of the craftsmen who created this piano was that it must have
the full, clear tone which has made the name "Cable-Nelson" famous
for so many years.
Another feature of the Crestwood, and one which also is of prime
importance to the careful buyer, is its exceptionally modest price.
Once you have seen this piano, once you have played it yourself, you
will be surprised and pleased when you learn its price is so easily
within reach of even the limited budget.

When piano is open there is no sign it has a fallboard. If owner
wishes to close the instrument, it's a simple matter to bring the
ingeniously hidden fallboard into position as shown below. These
close-up views show its beautifully figured veneers, its satin-smooth
finish and other details of its painstaking construction.
