REVIEW
PREMIER CORP. ISSUES A MOST ARTISTIC BROCHURE
In the "Premier Grandalog" the Premier Grand Piano Corp. Has Produced an Excellent Booklet
Containing Handsome Illustrations of the Various Premier Models in Home Settings
Under the title of "The Magic of Music," the
Premier Grand Piano Corp., 510-532 West
Twenty-third street, New York, has issued a
booklet they style the
"Premier
Grandalog,"
and in which are dis-
played in artistic home
settings
the various
m o d e l s of Premier
grands manufactured by
this corporation.
The accompanying il-
lustration shows Model
R, four feet ten inches,
as it is displayed in this
Grandalog. In the oth-
er
illustration's
are
shown the Queen Anne
Model, four feet ten
inches, and the Aristo-
crat Model, five feet
three inches. Two pages
are devoted to the re
production of photo-
graphs of various de-
partments in the Pre-
mier Grand plant. They
include the action, fin-
ishing, action regulat-
ing, varnish, final finish-
ing,
installation
of
sounding board and
case making depart-
ments. There is also
shown a section of the
department where the
actions are made for
this grand. Three pages
are also devoted to the
display of large silhou-
ette reproductions of
the three models of
grands
manufactured,
in the foreword the
company states:

front rank in the musical world.

were fundamental reasons why the grand piano
of some years ago was never seen in a home of
ordinary size—the home of a music-loving
family of ordinary means.
"And now comes the period where size and
price considerations were swept aside by the
development of the small grand which would ad-
mirably fit in mansion, cottage or apartment and
cost no more than the quality upright piano of
conventional design and appearance. The baby
grand piano, as exemplified by the Premier, is
an instrument which has successfully solved the
problems which have for years retarded the de-
velopment of the small grand for general, popu-
lar use in homes, studios and conservatories.
"The Premier baby grand is, first of all, a grand
piano of quality. A rich, mellow tone distin-
guishes it. In appearance it possesses that charm
and dignity which characterize the grand piano
only. Our grand action is a most responsive
action, and being such an important feature, it is
built in its entirety in the Premier institution,
thus insuring its highest quality throughout.
"The Premier blends admirably with the room
furnishings. Whether the room be large or small,
elaborately ornate or chastely simple, the Pre-
mier baby grand has a wonderful influence, for
here are beauty and utility combined. In the
national Home Beautiful movement the Pre-
mier has taken an important part; the small
grand, by virtue of its combination of highly de-
sirable qualities, occupies the supreme place in
the home, the studio and conservatory. The or-
ganization responsible for the Premier baby
grand is a group of grand piano specialists with
a quarter century of successful achievement—
piano makers with a decidedly artistic sense,
coupled with the practical knowledge of magni-
tude production. Concentration on the small
grand exclusively—with extraordinary equipment
and facilities, insures extraordinary value for the
investment, for the Premier baby grand costs con-
siderably less than other quality small grands."
