THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
The Keller Bros.' Piano.
R
EPORTS from the energetic house of
Keller Bros. & Blight, Bridgeport,
Conn., are reassuring. There is no crying
of dull times there. They find a demand
for their instruments as fast as they are
able to manufacture them.
They keep
their house and their instruments before
the trade through judicious and artistic ad-
vertising—ergo, they do not lack orders.
Some of the latest style Keller Bros.'
pianos are unusually attractive.
Those in
fancy woods especially are instruments that
will make trade for the pushing dealer.

THE CRITICS UNANIMOUS IN THK1R PRAISE OF
THE WONDERFUL VIOLINIST.
I
T is worthy of remark that the critics,
East and West, are unanimous in their
opinions regarding Cesar Thomson, the
great Belgian violinist, who has just com-
pleted his tour of this country with such
wonderful success. There is no dissension
from the verdict that he is one of the
greatest artists ever heard, and the enthu-
siasm over his concerts is proof that the
public appreciates the rare opportunity.
M. Thomson is not only a remarkable
violinist, but a cultured, well-read gentle-
man and musician, whose opinions have
great weight. It is, therefore, particularly
pleasing to know that he is delighted with a
Chicago made piano. He says: " I greatly
admire the tone of the Kimball pianos.
They are beautiful instruments."—Chicago

and the total output of the manufac-
tured article was 150 pounds. In 1892 the
price had decreased to 66 cents, and the
total output of the manufactured article
was 259,888 pounds. In 1893 the price was
75 cents, with the total manufactured pro-
duct at 339,629 pounds. During the past
year the price has again gone down. This
is a significant proof of the increasing and
varied use of aluminum.
