tj When the past century was young—-in 1823—the Chickering
was first produced, and it at once attracted the attention of
the tone experts of those early days.
fj Each succeeding year added to its reputation and to its
ever widening circle of admirers.
€J The Chickering system became the basic one for American
pianoforte building.
,
^ The early traditions qf the house were cherished and the law
of evolution applied to every department. Tonal improvement
was made whenever possible. There was no halting on the
vantage ground won. The experimental department became a
fixed principle of the Chickering factory, where it has ever remained
as a cherished feature. Because of this unceasing development
the Chickering piano has always maintained a fairly won pre-
eminence, and many of the owners of old Chickering instruments
are so deeply attached to them that they refuse to part with
them on account of the deep affection which they have formed
for them, because they are the truest mediums of expression
of varying moods of the pianist.
(^ There is in the Chickering of to-day that subtle charm—that
individuality—that delicacy of expression which wins the ad-
miration of the tone connoisseurs of our time like its early pro-
totype captured the elite of those days when piano making
was in its youth.
