DEMAND FOR HIGH GRADE PIANOS
The demand for
high-grade musical in-
struments is growing
steadily.
That is illustrated
in the increased or-
ders placed for the
Christman pianos.
JOHN CHRISTMAN.
During a recent in-
terview with John Christman he remarked:
"We have been more than gratified at the
manner in which business has kept up during
the summer months.
"There is no question but that we are facing
the best fall which this house has ever enjoyed.
"We are putting forth instruments which
the dealers like more and more on closer ac-
quaintance with them.
"Take our small grand, for instance.
"Probably there is no grand creation on the
market which has made such rapid advances
as the Christman Studio Grand since its incep-
tion."
That the Christman Studio Grand has lived
up to the claims made for it by the manufac-
turers is admitted by those who have an inti-
mate acquaintance with it.
It has overcome unfavorable opinions which
some had as to the musical qualities of very
small grand pianos.
It has been played before large audiences,
who have enthusiastically expressed their ad-
miration of the marvelous qualities of this
dainty grand piano.
It goes steadily marching on to larger and
more complete conquests.
The Christman uprights, however, should
not be overlooked, for while the Christmans
have won a national reputation as makers of a
superb grand piano, they also have acquired
prominence as manufacturers of admirable
upright pianos—pianos which in musical qual-
ities have gone steadily ahead winning new
friends all the time. .
The Christmans have been doing this in a
quiet, unostentatious manner.
The reasons back of Christmans' growth
might be briefly summed up in a single sen-
tence, by showing that there are unusual
values in the Christman pianos of both grand
and upright form.

Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
