JLHE great majority of
Steinway pianos are bought
by people in moderate cir-
cumstances. They consider
the family budget. They
follow the principle of true
economy. They make their
investment in the skill,
knowledge and integrity of
four generations of the
Steinway family. In return
they receive, decade after
decade, infinitely more than
the purchase price. For the
best is always the most sat-
isfactory in the end, always
the assurance of the greatest ad-
vantage to the buyer.
Wealthy amateurs, the great
pianists, and the most celebrated
figures in the world of music buy
the Steinway for other reasons
than economy. But no matter for
what reason it is purchased, it
returns a lifetime of satisfaction.
The owner of a Steinway never
regrets its purchase; never wants,
and need never buy, another piano.
Beauty of form and finish, a mar-
velous singing tone, a sure response
to the hand and spirit, astonishing
durability—these are common to
all Steinway pianos. They endear

uses the Steinway exclusively
the great concert grand to such
pianists as Paderewski, Rachmani-
noff, Hofmann, and hundreds of
other notable musicians. And these
same distinguished qualities are
present in the model that graces
the small apartments of the un-
known, but no less enthusiastic,
lovers of music.
Some one of the many Steinway
models will fit the acoustic condi-
tions of your home and the limita-
tions of your income. Each is a true
Steinway, conforming to all the
Steinway principles and
methods. Each has been
personally inspected by a
member of the Steinway
family. Each is sold at the
lowest possible price and
on the most convenient
terms.
And when you hear the
rich, blossoming measures
of Brahms on a Steinway
. . . when you hear its
golden tone give lovely,
gracious contours to a
Schumann Toccata . . .
when you hear the crystal
\ treble singing the dim and gentle
( rhythms of Debussy's "Gardens
in the Rain" . . . when you sense
the deep, slow beauty of the bass in
the "Appasionata" . . .
Then you realize that new vistas
in music are opening before you,
and that an infinity of new plea-
sures lies just beneath your hands.
These pleasures are not for the rich only, for
the Steinway is primarily a piano for the
home, and especially for the home of limited
income. For where the value of money is
fully known, this great instrument is best
appreciated.
