SPECIAL—ANOTHER BOMB EXPLODED,
Another Tradition Demolished and Another Truth Made Clear. Read.
T
HIS is the day for demolishing pet
theories and a lot of people have been
inclined to the belief that in order to
get the highest grade pianos it was
necessary to pay the highest prices. This is
not so. You can secure in the Christman
piano the best workmanship, the best material
and the best musical results for a modest
price.
It is all nonsense to think that a concern
must have been in business for a century to
produce good pianos. Age does not at all
times make good on the piano question. The
Christmans have been trained as piano makers
and they believe in making every part of the
instruments which bear their name under their
own personal supervision.
They have their own case-making plant
and have all departments thoroughly equipped
with modern machinery and appliances of
every kind to aid in the manufacture of per-
fect pianos. If you examine Christman pianos
minutely, you will be more and more im-
pressed with their value.
The cases are double veneered inside and
out, including the top, top frame, shelf, bottom
plate-rack, also front and back falls, sweep of
arm, etc. In fact, if you tear the Christman
apart you will find it represents the best work
throughout. Splendid workmanship is one of
the features which has made the Christman,
but back of that workmanship lies the Christ-
man tone—a tone which appeals with irresisti-
ble force to all.
The Christman Small Grand is a wonder.
There is no such tone in any other Grand of
similar size created. Then, when you come
to sum up the whole situation—the price is
what surprises. And the price is what inter-
ests, the price is what counts and when you
figure the value you get in the Christman
piano and the price which you pay for it, you
will be amazed. You will simply throw up
your hat and become a Christman enthusiast,
just the same as others have done.
Now do not put off a thorough investiga-
tion, because delays in this case are not only
dangerous, but they cost money, for you can
be making money just as soon as you secure
the Christman agency.
