STEINWAY
The Instrument of the Immortals
Most of the great pianists,
s t u d e n t s a n d people of
modest means who choose the
Steinway, do so for its present
and easily apparent qualities-
its exquisite singing tone, its
beauty of form and finish, its
quick, accurate response to the
player's moods and feelings.
Every Steinway piano embodies
the principles of design that
have been originated and brought
to perfection by four generations
of the Steinway family. Each
possesses the rare and priceless
qualities that endear the Stein-
way to such masters as Pade-
rewski, Rachmaninoff, Hof-
mann, Cortot, Grainger and
Levitzki.

THE STEINWAY AT ITS BEST NOW
More than half a century ago,
the yearly output of Steinway
pianos was less than fifty. They
were famous then for their skil-
ful workmanship, their choice
materials, their beauty, and
their advanced design.
More pianos are now made and
sold than ever before, and at
every point, they are the finest
that Steinway & Sons has ever
produced. They are built by
more skilful workmen, made of
better materials, designed by a
more scientific staff. In particu-
lar, they are inspected with a
minute care that searches out
the slightest deviation from the
Steinway standard. It is im-
possible for an unworthy Stein-
way piano to reach the home of
any buyer
