HIS magnificent instrument is a departure from typical piano design. Brought forth to be an enduring ornament to the "Home Beauti-
ful,"' where culture and* refinement seek "class" and "individuality." The canons of Art are strictly maintained, as the instrument is a
perfect example of the Romanesque Period; graceful and stately In outline; rich, chaste and harmonious to the minutest detail. The
entire scheme of ornamentation is one of subdued refinement. Trusses assume .the forms of elongated bases, upon which stand imposing col-
umns capped with beautiful hand-carved capitals. These columns rise to the full height of the piano in front of pilasters of corresponding de-
sign. This gives the instrument an extended top which is exquisitely handsome and classic. The interior construction is of corresponding
quality with, the rich exterior. Musically perfect. Has laminated acousti: rim; laminated bridges; Seavern's action; full empire top with
brass "grand" hinges; brass continuous hinges on fall board; imported German felt; 14-pound hammers; pianissimo attachment; Pohlman
wire; full copper over-strung bass; nickel-plated tuning pins; three pedals with patent steel trap-work absolutely noiseless and mouse-proof.
Back constructed with great strength and rigidity. Six large rock maple posts fortify against all tension imposed on a first-class instrument.
Height, 4 feet 10 inches; width, 5 feet 4Va inches; depth, 2 feet 2V2 inches.
