THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.

panels, friezes and center pieces for pianos and
organs which they make a specialty of, are truly
works of art, and cannot fail to increase in popu-
larity.
f
HERE are few sellers in the field of musical
instruments to equal the Wilcox & White
Organ Co.'s "Symphony." The recent ad-
dition in case designs have added materially to
the attractiveness of these popular instruments.
Business during the first month of the new year
has been particularly good with the Wilcox &
White Organ Co. The orders on hand will en-
able them to keep their full force at work all
winter.

of the first houses down East to feel
the rise in the commercial barometer is
the Emerson Piano Company. They report a
gratifying increase in orders from all sections,
and in their New York and Chicago houses the
business for January was of such proportions as
to make them sanguine for the future. This
condition of things is not surprising, for the
Emerson piano maintains a strong hold on the
affections of the musical public who have learned
to regard it as an art product of a high class.
this time when there is a decided growth
in taste for fancy woods and general ela-
boration in the construction of case designs,
piano manufacturers should not overlook the
pianoforte mouldings manufactured by Ehrhard
& Hagen, of 245-247 West 28th street. They
will find them a material aid toward beautifying
their instruments. Ehrhard & Hagen are one
of the largest and oldest houses in this business,
and their pianoforte mouldings, whether plain
or carved, display skill and artistic taste. Over
6,000 patterns are kept in stock.
^UGUST BAUS, who of late has been
traveling for Jacob Doll in the interests
of the Baus pianos, will on Monday next assume
the management of Mr. Doll's Fourteenth street
warerooms.
S
HE Braumuller Company's affairs are being
rapidly adjusted. The creditors having
signed a settlement it is expected that the as-
signee will be discharged this week. Mr. Brau-
muller is hopeful of resuming manufacturing in
a short time.
JmELEGRAPHIC dispatches from all parts of
5T» the country during the past ten days con-
tained such messages as the following:
" Wheels turning again,'' " mills to resume on
full time," "business picking up," "things
looking bright.'' Let the good work continue.
There can't be a surfeit of this kind of news.
Electro-Bronze Art work turned out by
the Homer D. Bronson Co., Beacon Falls,
Conn., is meeting with a great deal of favor
from piano and organ manufacturers. The
t
trade atmosphere has been surcharged
with rumors concerning the future of the
Steinway piano in Chicago, Nothing could il-
lustrate better the importance of the Steinway
name than all this concern over the operations
of the parent house. Steinway & Sons are not
in the habit of making outsiders custodians of
their business secrets until the proper time.
Theretore, all these rumors are unfounded. The
annual meeting of the corporation of Lyon,
Potter & Co., Chicago, will take place next
Monday.
jMONG the many things to excite interest
in the handsome warerooms of Decker
Bros, is that ingenious invention, the Janko
Keyboard, which has merited quite some atten-
tion from musicians. Messrs. Decker Brothers
are the owners of the American rights for the
Keyboard, and they find an increasing army of
advocates who see many advantages in the new
over the old keyboard. At the Newark College
of Music, recently, Madam A. Pupin gave a re-
cital upon an instrument containing this key-
board and enlightened quite a few eminent mu-
sicians by her splendid playing and interesting
explanatory lecture.
of the optimistic men of the trade is
Henry F. Miller, of Boston. He is full
of hope for the future of the piano business in
general, and the Henry F. Miller & Sons piano
in particular. During the past year this ex-
cellent house has won a large measure of suc-
cess, both at the World's Fair and by an
enlarged popularity throughout the country.
The Miller Artist Grand is an old favorite with
musicians, and it is a cause for satisfaction to
notice that it has been used by prominent art-
tists in a large number of concerts recently.
On each occasion it won the highest encomiums
of performer and audience and further estab-
lished the merits of the product of this house.
? EWMAN
BROS, are going to strengthen
their already strong line of organs by
putting before the musical public some time
this month a new style six octave piano-cased
organ, which will be somewhat of a surprise as
to tone-quality and elaborate case design. They
have now ready their style No. 30 in five and
six octaves, which they are placing on the mar-
ket at a popular price. The Newman Brothers'
organs are every day becoming more popular
with dealers; they possess all the requisites
that go to make a good instrument; splendid
quality of tone, up to-date case designs, and
thorough workmanship is guaranteed by this
capable house.
gvEZHERE are few houses in the trade making
sf» such good use of the splendid award re-
ceived at the World's Fair as the firm of Vose
& Sons, Boston. They have displayed excellent
taste and ingenuity in the construction of their
advertisements, and the merits of the Vose &
Sons' piano have been set forth in a manner to
compel the notice of the musical public. That
they are reaping a reward is only too evident,
for orders received from all over the country in-
dicate that the Vose & Sons' pianos were never
more popular than to-day. And this is a merit-
ed reward for push and enterprise. The policy
of Vose & Sons for '94 is a progressive and
liberal one, and they will not rest satisfied until
the product of this distinguished house is better
known from Maine to California.
fact is admitted generally that one of the
most remarkable instruments turned out
in many years from any piano factory is the Hard-
man Baby Grand. When it first appeared its
extraordinary musical power was specially com-
mented upon, and it was thought possible that
so great an amount of resonance might not be
lasting in so small a grand. Instead of such a
result having taken place, however, the tone in
the grands first made is now as perfect in quality
as in those turned out to-day ; its full, resonant
character being quite as marked as in the begin-
ning. This point of durability as shown in the
Baby Grand, the firm claims, is only a continu-
ance of the well-known history of the Hardman
Upright which the makers assert, and it is a
bold statement, improves under usage.
