O longer is perfection of tone the
only concern in selecting a piano
for lifetime satisfaction. Today the
importance of tone is complemented
by the irrefutable demand for piano
encasements that do justice to the tone
—and blend into the background of
the meticulously planned and exe-
cuted interiors of homes throughout
the world! That is why Sohmer pianos
today stand unsurpassed in accom-
plishment.
IN Sohmer piano tone there is bril-
liance, warmth, color—and as subtle
as the beauty of this tone are the pe-
riod encasements, authentic in every
detail of design, superbly executed by
master craftsmen whose goal is per-
fection.

To hear the Sohmer with the Welte Mig-
non is to recognize instantly the difference
between Welte Mignon recordings and
those of reproducing mechanisms. This
secret photographic process of Welte Mig-
non makes unnecessary even the editing of
a recording—an unsatisfactory and usual
procedure with ordinary methods of re-
production.
