tioned durability.
Cbe fienry ?. miller Pianos
possess a full, rich tone of large volume, the special features of which are the sweet and
singing qualities. All piano manufacturers recognize these as the desirable qualities, and
claim them for their pianos. But do all pianos possess the sweet and singing tone ? A com-
parison of the different makes of pianos soon shows the fallacy of such claims. The
niller Pianos are tuned to International Pitch; any fair comparison of pianos should be
made when the instruments are at same pitch.
The mechanism or action in the pianos is so carefully adjusted or regulated as to be
easily appreciated by any player, and superiority is instantly conceded. Some MILLER
pianos may be mellow in tone and others more brilliant, but even when most brilliant
they retain the special qualities of a sweet, singing tone. This MILLER TONE, recognized
in the MILLER PIANOS when new, and which is so desirable and satisfactory, is last-
ing ; and these special qualities are to be found in HENRY F. MILLER pianos that are
thirty and more years old.
Many of the best known and most critical musicians freely express their opinion in re-
gard to these special features, and have stated unreservedly that the HENRY F. MILLER
pianos are their
first Choice Above Jill Others.
For many years past the case designs of the HENRY F. MILLER PIANOS have been
the admiration of the entire trade. The influence of these designs has been widespread;
it is a fact that they have been copied by other manufacturers, and the leadership from
an artistic standpoint has been generally conceded. In
Cbe fienry ?. miller Pianos
the case designs are the work of professional designers.
Not only are they archi-
tecturally correct, but the beautiful lines, fine proportions, and special architectural
features, all appeal to a correct taste. Among these beautiful designs are the RENAIS-
SANCE, a revival of the classic; AFTER THE STYLE OF FRANCIS I; the
COLONIAL, a revival of the early colonial times and admitted to be the best specimen
of colonial architecture in the trade at the present time; the " OLD VIRGINIAN," also
a revival of the early colonial times, and this style is in answer to many inquiries for an
upright piano which musically would equal the most costly and finest, but in a plain case
which could be furnished at a more reasonable price.
The correct architecture of these cases insures to purchasers a beautiful instrument of
which they do not tire on account of change in prevailing styles; unquestionably, other
new designs will appear in the future, but whilst they may add to the number of beautiful
styles, they will not necessarily supplant the present, which, being formed on the classic,
Ulill Remain a Standand for Jill time.
