Notable Piano Models of the Season
MARCH, 1932
It is quite noticeable that the new 1932 models for the spring season, while
very attractive, are subdued in tone and, withal, refined, no attempt at radical
departures being made in any way, either in design or finish. There is a general
appeal to the good taste of the purchasing public for attractiveness and chaste
design.
Presto-Times, following its custom of showing piano models from time to time
and season to season, brings to the attention of its readers an interesting show-
ing herewith and which it is hoped will be followed as a regular feature.
Manufacturers are invited to show their new models in these columns and
particularly instruments of special attractiveness and special design and finish
will be gladly shown and the favor of allowing them to be shown duly
appreciated. In this issue we present some of this season's models.
