The Style F Series of uprights represents a new idea in piano production. The Series,
consisting of three instruments of the same size, is 48" in height, the difference lying in the
manner of decoration. The Style F is in a plain case, the Style F B is decorated with a delicate
moulding at the base of the keybed and around the lid and the Style F C has, in addition to the
mouldings, carved pilasters and legs.
The Series is designed to give a choice of finish style on the same basic instrument. The
48" height permits a sound board area and string length capable of colorful results and is, at
the same time, small enough to allow it to be moved about easily and to permit its occupying
a very limited space.
