thusiastic Opinion of Instrument.
Miss Cecil Arden, of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, is another of the enthusiastic admirers
of the Tonk piano. Following a recital in Canton,
Pa., recently, in which she was accompanied on a
Tonk "Style 140." Miss Arden expressed frank
praise of Tonk piano merits to G. Keagle & Son,
representatives in that city of William Tonk &
Bro., Inc., New York. The famous singer's opin-
ion is printed below:
"I am highly pleased with the Tonk piano, par-
ticularly with the deep mellow tone of this instru-
ment, which blends especially well with my voice."
The sweet, sonorous tone of the Tonk piano is a
feature of the piano that impresses artists. The
durability of the instrument which is assured by
admirable methods of construction, is another merit
appreciated by those who make continuous use of
their pianos.
Tonkbenches are a big factor in the holiday trade
of music houses in all parts of the country. Every
