All of the Strich & Zeidler products are
of equal merit, yet the biggest demand has
been for those above referred to.
Cabinet grand, style F, 1898, is being
made in mahogany, burl walnut and quar-
tered oak, as well as fancy woods to order.
From this style, as from the others in the
present catalogue, the 'older features of
top-frames and music desks have been en-
tirely obliterated.
The Review has noted, on several occa-
sions, the special features of the new scale
style H, and of the S. & Z. baby grand,
