E S , piano making is an art and
if you inspect the Christman
pianos and test them in every
possible way, you will understand
better why Christman pianos have
been steadily going ahead without
flamboyant methods in every part of
the United States. Thoroughness
and progress are the watchwords.
The Christmans were not merely
satisfied with producing good, artistic
upright pianos, they desired to turn
out a grand that would add lustre
to their name. In keeping with their
policy it was only after years of ex-
perimental work that the Christman
small grand—the smallest on the
market, by the way—was deemed
ready for trade inspection. Then it
was ready! Artists called to test and
enthuse over it. Dealers expressed
admiration for it. And why? Because
its tone qualities were simply amazing
in a grand of such small proportions.
A h ! Why this success? Remember
that the Christman development has
been slow but steady, that it has not
been the result of a year or two of
spasmodic effort, but a long series of
years of labor along right lines, for
it was in 1855 that Peter Christman,
the founder of this business, com-
menced in a modest way in New
York. He believed in building well
and his sons were carefully trained
with the same definite purpose in
mind, and in the Christman small
grands are embodied the results of
many years of thought along acous-
tical lines.
We say unqualifiedly that there is
not a small grand on the market
which surpasses t h e C h r i s t m a n .
There are few that approach it and
there is none that is offered at a
price which ensures the possibilities
of large sales of grands, as this par-
ticular creation. Are you interested?
Then investigate and take up the
matter with us.
