WHAT OTHERS SAY:
is more convincing than what the manufacturers or the salesmen say themselves in
praise of the Weaver Pianos. Read the following opinions of those who have had ex-
perience with Weaver Pianos.
.
/
"I was very much interested in seeing and hearing one
of your Weaver Field Type Pianos recently here in Nash-
ville, Tenn. with one of the Service Groups. While the
piano is in daily service, it was in very good tune and
was standing up under the service admirably."—Roy
Warden Piano Company.
"Your fine instrument is standing up very well even with
the adverse conditions of this New Guinea region."—
Ben Milstein.
"There are two Government Issue Weaver Field Type
Pianos which I tune in this locality. From the evidence
of the rough treatment they receive, one would wonder
how they could hold up, but they keep coming up smil-
ing."—Silas Woodruff, Piano Tuner, Panama Canal Zone.
"I supplied a Weaver Spinet Piano to the family of Mr.
C. Finch, Middletown, N. Y. This family of musicians
sold their big grand piano and have put this little spinet
in its place, giving them much more room. The piano had
a good tuning and my tuner and these musicians are
amazed at its beautiful tone coming from the new plastic
plywood plate. It is a sweetheart."—Everett Musgrave.
"My father, Lee Roy Moore, has been in the piano busi-
ness 25 years in Berkeley, Calif. He has tuned a number
of late model Weaver Pianos and likes their construc-
tion and the way they tune. We know Weaver is step-
ping ahead in piano achievement and producing the
piano the public wants."—Harold W. Moore.
"It was a joyful experience to discover in the Weaver
Piano the rich tone, flexibility and beauty which a
musician anticipates in reeking a piano. To be able to
use the Weaver Verti-Mignon Piano when one is pre-
paring to sing with an orchestra, is a delight indeed."—
Jersica Dragonette, America's Beloved Soprano.
"We received the Weaver MW Spinet Piano for the
Girl Scouts of Grand Haven, Mich, and congratulate
you upon the high quality of this instrument."—Gordon
Laughead Company.
"We have received the Weaver MW Spinet Piano, but
could not keep it very long. We sold it to a doctor
and his wife for their small boy who is studying music
at Longview, Texas. We had many compliments on its
beauty, tone and workmanship. Please ship us more of
these pianos whenever you can."—Tyler (Texas) Piano
Company.
"We are more than pleased with the Weaver Verti-
Mignon and the York Celeste Console Pianos. They are
gorgeous instruments in every way and very impressive.
Their tonal qualities are excellent Their actions speak
louder than words."—Hughes Brothers, Rome, N. Y.
"The New York Sheraton Piano is a beauty. It certainly
is an unusually fine piano in every way."—C. A. Hanssen
& Co., Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Our Weaver Console Piano is a great pleasure to us.
I do not see how we ever got along without it now that
we know what a joy it is. We could never part with it.
We have had it since October 1938."—Mrs. D. C. Dittor,
Guilford College, N. C.
"The Weaver Verti-Mignon Piano is in a class by itself.
It is beautiful in tone and a masterpiece in construction."
—Frederick K. Monroe, Evansville, Indiana, formerly a
member of Sousa's Band.
Weaver's post-war plans are just as ambitious and aggressive as Weaver's war policies
which made the Weaver Plastic Plywood Plate Piano war time America's "trail blazer"
piano. You and Weaver can have a prosperous post-war period together.
