MRS. FLORENCE HUEBNER-DUKES
SOLOIST WITH THE NEW YORK
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
at the recent Ft. Wayne Musical Festival writes to the
fomltn
:
as follows:
GENTLEMEN:—At the recent Musical Festival in this city, as
you are aware, I played the Mason & Hamlin Piano in solo with
the New York Symphony Orchestra, and I want to tell you that
on this 1 occasion, as well as on others when I have played your
marvelous pianos in Recitals and with Orchestra, their action and
beautiful tone appealed to me as unequaled by any other pianos
manufactured.
It seems to me that you produce for the pianist just what
Stradivarius did for the violinist; that your instruments are all
masterpieces and bespeak the extraordinary point of achievement
of the present age in a pronounced manner. Nothing would make
me happier than to always make my professional appearances
through the medium of the Mason & Hamlin Piano.
It certainly fills me with gratitude by rendering smooth the
hard road of the artist, and with my gratitude I want to con-
gratulate you on the superb instruments of your manufacture.
Believe me, very truly yours,
(Signed) FLORENCE HUEBNER-DUKES
