STEINWAY
The Instrument of the Immortals
CAREFUL BUYERS CONSIDER PRICE,
BUT NEVER PRICE ALONE
A careful buyer considers price, but few base their deci-
sions upon it. What do I get in return for this money
is an intelligent question answered completely and satis-
factorily by the facts about the
STEINWAY PIANO
Every Steinway makes a generous return to its owner. To find a Steinway
piano that has been used by a family through three generations is not un-
usual. For the Steinway is built, literally, for a lifetime of pleasure and
delight. Its durability alone places it definitely among the least expensive
of all pianos. There are many pianos whose initial cost is less, but there
are few that cost so little in the end. Upon this basis of true economy, the
great majority of Steinway pianos are sold—to students, to amateurs, to
men and women of modest means.
But there is another group of people who care little about price—who re-
quire the finest instrument that the world can give them—who judge a
piano, not primarily from the standpoint of service, or cost, but from its
tone, its response to the hand and spirit, its ability to interpret every subtle
mood of the musician.
And the rare qualities that endear the Steinway to these great musicians
are present, as well as the element of economy, in every Steinway that is sold.
