How the Kranich & Bach
Name Has Occupied a
Place in History
O some who do not understand the law of
consequences, the manner in which the
name Kranich & Bach has occupied a fixed
place in the firmament of musical history may
seem remarkable. But there is nothing remark-
able about it.
The law of consequences fixes responsibilities,
issues edicts of examination and awards the laurels.
Instrument makers who sought to give a little less
than they received have passed into oblivion,
while a few—a little group—have remained hon-
ored and respected by historians and the people
of each decade.
Always the name Kranich & Bach on a piano or
player-piano has stamped that instrument im-
mediately in the mind of musician and dealer as a
worthy article of musical excellence.
Dealers everywhere are capitalizing the history of
Kranich & Bach for themselves and for^their own
profit.
