The most expensive fancy wood used
in piano construction. Originally na-
tive in India and Ceylon, it has been
naturalized in both the Fast and West
Indies, Hahama and Florida. The finest
quality is obtained from Porto Rico and
San Domingo. It is very hard, heavy
and durable. Fine specimens are diffi-
cult to obtain. When this wood was
plentiful the natives used it in building
their homes, and now that it has be-
come so rare such woodwork is often
removed and sent to Xew York and
London for sale.
Weber Grand Pianos
T
HE beautiful piano pictured above (of which only a faint idea can be given in a newspaper illustration) is
typical of the exquisite craftsmanship of the Weber Factory, as shown in recent models of both Grands anil
Uprights. This Grand, with its graceful lines, the handsome sunburst effect of the veneers on the lid and the
delicate marquetry panels, is an example appealing to the most refined tastes.
]iut desirable as artistic cases always are, it is in the matter of its DISTINCT1VP T O N E that the Weber Piano particu-
larly excels. The virtuoso may bring to berr the greatest strength of his powerful fingers without exhausting the depths of
its tonal resources, while the amateur finds his more modest talents effectively enhanced by its sweet, sympathetic singing-
tone.
The Weber is given preference OVER ANY O T H E R P I A X O by the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company and
many other distinguished authorities at home and abroad. The Weber Piano is to-day representative of the artistic piano-
forte in its highest development.
