IMPROVED HAAS^BRASS PEDAL
Now Made Entirely in One Casting, Brass Cap
Being Cast Over Iron Foundation and Not
Attached by a Rivet as Formerly—Elim*
inates All Chance of Working Loose and
Rattling—Wins Favor with the Trade.
Henry Haas & Son, 1909 Park avenue, New
York, are at present having great success with their
new brass toe cap pedal which they are now put-
ting on the market in a new form. Heretofore
the pedal has been made, in two. sections compris-
ing a cast iron shank and front, the latter being
fitted on a brass toe cap which is held in place with
a rivet. The new pedal is made all in one piece,
the shank and the front toe cap being cast all in
one, the brass cap instead of being attached by a
rivet being cast over the iron foundation.
In this way there is absolutely no chance f>>r

An evidence that the piano business has not been
so terribly dull during the summer months is
manifested in the reports from the string factory
of Rudolph C. Koch, the well-known maker of
Reinwarth piano strings, at 386-^88 Second ave-
nue, New York.
It was stated there this week that there has been
a full force employed during the summer months
and not a man has been out of work a day. This
speaks well for Reinwarth strings, and shows that

style. Although there is a slight difference in the
price, it js so small that manufacturers who have
seen the new pedal have immediately placed orders
for them, seeing at once the greater value in them
over the previous model. The Haas pedal has
been known for several years and was patented
Dec. 12, 1911.
Harold Haas, son of Louis Haas, head of the
company, will leave within a short time for an
Eastern trip and will show this new pedal.

the piano trade has not had a poor summer busi-
ness. According to the orders which have been re-
ceived at the Koch plant during the last few days
there is a general stimulation to the piano business
and the popularity of Reinwarth strings continues
to grow.
BETTERING TONE QUALITY.
This Is Evident in the Manufacturing Field
To-day, Says Adolph Stern, of David H.
Schmidt Co.—Optimistic Over Fall Outlook.
Adolph Stern, secretary of the David H.
Schmidt Co., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., was in New
York last week caring for the interests of the
company. Mr. Stern reported that business is
very good and judging from the outlook this fall
will show the largest season in the history of the
house.
Mr. Stern also adds:. "The tendency to-day is
to better the tone qualities of pianos, particularly
the player instruments. The tremendous amount
of strength required in the player has prompted
many manufacturers to strengthen their products
here and there, so consequently, th? demand for
David H. Schmidt hammers is increasing, even
though this trade-mark hammer goes to prac-
tically all the better class of manufacturers,"
