Fine casework and design are very important—and mean even more when
offered with outstanding inside construction. The parts unknown and un-
seen by the purchaser are equally important when interestingly and prop-
erly presented by the sales person. To a very large degree the inside
determines the true worth of a piano. To insure exacting quality of important
construction features, Kimball make their own keys, actions, hammers,
pin blocks, soundboards, cases—and cast the iron plates in their own
foundry. Thus, all Kimball Pianos are fully built, not just assembled, in
Kimball's world's largest, most completely equipped piano factory.
Smart authentic styling, plus countless extra-value selling points . . .
including the famous 4* "Tone-Touch" features . . . are responsible for
the superior qualities and unmatched durability of Kimball Pianos.
Many pianos possessing some of these features cost much more than a
Kimball. But with all of these features, and beautiful case design, you
know that in dollar-for-dollar value the Kimball has no equal.
When you offer something distinctive, in a class by itself. . . and
Still at a reasonable price... people will buy it. That's why Kimball
is a consistent profit-maker for piano merchants the nation over!
