STEINWAY
THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS
Beneath his hands 'the most renowned
pianos of the world' have voiced their
greatest glory. His genius has tested every
great piano-maker's work. Yet, for Alfred
Cortot, there is but 'one perfect instrument,
the Steinway.' You who are about to
select a piano, do you not find conviction
in the experience of this master? What
need that you experiment? What guide
more sure than this: that since Henry
Steinway made his first piano the greatest
artists have preferred above all others the
instrument that bears his name ? Franz
Liszt! Wagner! Rubinstein! The Stein-
way was their piano. It is played and
oved by Paderewski, by Hofmann, by
Rachmaninoff.
Friedman and Levit:ki
will have no other. Successively each
generation of the Steinway family has pre-
served the purpose that its product shall
be as truiv the piano of the home as it is
the chosen instrument of the concert stage.
The qualities that have endeared it to the
masters are embodied in every Steinway
that is made. For your home there is a
Steinway, either grand or upright, which
in tone and touch and action matches that
which Cortot plays. Once you have set
fingers to such an instrument, once you
have known the beauty of its response, for
you, thereafter, there can be ' but one per-
fect piano, the Steinway.'
There is a Steinway dealer in your community or near you through whom you may
purchase a new Steinway piano with a cash deposit of iy'7f, nnd the balance will
be extended over a period of two years. Used pianos accepted in partial exchange.
Prices: Uprights, $875 and up; Grands, $1425 and up; plus freight
