STEIN WAY
THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS

«$§«
INCE I have played your piano,"
wrote Ignaz Friedman, "I have come
to the conclusion that it is easy to be a
good pianist, if one has a Steinway at
one's disposal." . . . This is Mr. Fried-
man's gracious acknowledgment that the
development of the Steinway piano has
resulted in mechanical and structural im-
provements which are as valuable to the
amateur musician and the music lover
as to the master pianist. The Steinway
loved so many years by Liszt and Wagner
was but the herald of greater inspiration
for musicians of a later day. A finer
Steinway was ready when Paderewski,
Rachmaninoff and Hofmann came to
power. Still finer is the Steinway of
to-day. . . . Through this development
the original principles of Steinway con-
struction have been so expanded and re-
fined that the tonal beauty of the concert
grand is now perfectly reproduced in a
smaller piano for the home. It is this
matchless tone that prompted Ignaz Fried-
man to write as he did about the Steinway
piano. It is this same tone that is an
inspiration and a delight to those who
have a Steinway in their homes.
