"THE GREATEST GRAND EVER"!!!!
This Was the Expression Of a Keen, Discriminating, Success-
ful Piano Dealer After He Had Seen and
Tested the Christman.
M blessed if I ever saw such a grand
in my life.
"Why, it beats any five foot and
a half grand on the market.
"It has got a tone quality that is amazing
and I do not see how you do it."
The above words were expressed by a well-
known dealer upon the occasion of his visit to
the Christman factory at 597-601 East 137th
Street, New York.
This man was an expert.
Years ago he was a tuner.
He saved his money and sold a few pianos.
Bye and bye he branched out as a dealer and
he has been successful and he knows a piano
from the ground up.
He could build one, because his early ex-
perience included an apprenticeship at one of
the old New York factories.
He went all over the Christman—took it
apart as it were—took dimensions—took meas-
urements—went into the subject in a most
exhaustive manner, and when he completed his
examination he gave utterance to the most en-
thusiastic expressions, one of which appears
above.
It is the same old story—no matter which
way you turn.
Dealers are taken with the Christman
product.
They do not view it merely as an ordinary
grand proposition, but an extraordinary one.
They know first that it has a daintiness and
grace which appeals irresistibly and it is ad-
mitted there is nothing prettier in piano con-
struction than a beautiful small grand.
Then, best of all, is the tone, which is a
wonder.
Now, this is going to be a small grand year.
Are you on the right side?
If not, get Christman to put you there.
