My Dear Sirs :
Well, your Parlor Grand came safely to hand on the 3d inst., and has been
in almost constant use by our Daughter and friends ever since, growing in
popularity continuously.
To tell you that our Daughter is pleased with it, is putting it very mildly.
In short, she is thoroughly pleased and delighted with it, and says the action is
the best she has ever tried, making it very easy to play upon.
I am glad to tell you that Mrs. Rosenberger is also delighted with it, and I
am sure she is satisfied that the "Steger" is at least the equal, if not the superior,
of any other piano made to-day.
As to what I think of your piano, I will now frankly tell you: For the last
year or two, as I would get to some of our largest cities, I would take time to
hear the tone of as many different pianos as I could, and investigate and look
into all the points possible. I am sure I saw at least twenty-five or thirty
different makes, and, as above stated, investigated all points possible about as
well as an investigating mind could. Beyond any doubt, you gave me the most
intelligent and satisfactory explanation of what was necessary to be done in order
to make a very fine first-class piano, and why one piano was better than another.
When I ran over your No. 14 Parlor Grand, I was especially struck with its
shape, and can frankly tell you that I liked it better than any other that I have
ever seen. The proportions are certainly fine and artistic, and it is a very beauti-
ful instrument. As to the tone, I do not see how it could be sweeter or better.
Our friends, who have heard it, say the same of it. To say more in praise of
your piano is unnecessary, because I am sure, from what I have herein said, you
are fully assured that we are highly pleased and thoroughly satisfied with it.
When I get to Chicago again, which will be some time during the Summer,
I will call and tell you in person, possibly, how very much pleased we all are
with your Grand Piano.
With kind regards and best wishes for your continued success in the manu-
facturing of very fine pianos, I beg to remain,
Very sincerely yours, &c,
(Signed)
