MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
Likes the Malcolm Love.
Richard Ranft, Sr., Retires.
ROF. W. F. GRABAN, one of the best
known music teachers in North Caro-
lina, writes from Asheville, in that State,
to the local agent as follows:
"At your request I give you my opinion
of the Malcolm Love piano. I do this the
more cheerfully as I think that the many
good qualities of this instrument ought to
be better known and appreciated by the
public.
" I used last year in my studio the Mal-
colm Love piano for teaching, and found
it a most excellent, durable and in all re-
spects good piano. The tone is full, round,
sonorous, and very sympathetic and even.
The singing quality is very fine and the
quality of tone most agreeable. The touch
is good, and the action quick and prompt.
"After the severe test which I gave the
piano the past scholastic year, I can in all
sincerity recommend the Malcolm Love
piano as a good and durable instrument in
every respect."

to-day, after an active business career of
