Editor of THE MUSICAL CRITIC AND TRADE REVIEW.
DEAR SIR—Do Whitney & Currier, of Toledo,
manufacture a piano in New York city, or are they
among the "bogus piano manufacturers?"
Yours truly,
J. E. C.
[Messrs. Whitney & Currier are not directly
engaged in the manufacture of pianos, and as
they do not manufacture, they cannot well make
"bogus" pianos. Our correspondent is a little in-
definite in his term. A "bogus" piano is a cheap
piano that is palmed off on the buyer as the work
of some celebrated manufacturer. Messrs. Whit-
ney & Currier buy from several manufacturers,
and have pianos made especially for them by Jas.
