MASON & HAMLTN CO.
Gentlemen:
•/£ii :
The contribution you are making in your peerless pianos to the
cause of art—constituting at once an inspiration and a revelation
to the musician—marks an epoch, I believe, of deep significance.
New and exquisite effects as to tonal color, quality and dynamics
are here made possible for composer and interpreter.
I am convinced that the tonal gradations at one's command as
a result—from a virile bravura to a uniquely delicate pianissimo, ever
singing and warm—complemented by a sensitiveness of mechanism,
not only render the Mason & Hamlin Pianos incomparable among the
instruments of their kind, but also enhance the scope of music as an art.
With sincere congratulations to you on adhering unswervingly to
your ideal, and with keen appreciation of your inestimable service
to Music, believe me,
Very truly yours,
i -
