South Africa Appreciates
Christman Studio Grand
Conductor of Cape Town Symphony Orches-
tra, in Letter, Expresses Admiration for
Qualities of That Instrument
The Christman Piano Co., New York, recent-
ly received a letter from Theodore Wendt, who
for several years has been one of the promi-
Town Symphony Orchestra, a permanent
organization subsidized by the Cape Town
Municipality and the only orchestra in the Brit-
ish Dominions, 1 have had great and varied
experiences of most makes of pianos, and state
without hesitation that in its class your Studio
grand is second to none. The tone is round,
full and of beautiful sinking quality, while the
evenness of touch is delightful. Small wonder
that with such instruments America is becom-
ing the musical center of the world.
"As there is a likelihood of my remaining in
America I hope it will be my good fortune to
meet with your pianos very frequently."
Marshall & Wendell Pianos

lar in the South.

dent of the Altoona Chamber of Commerce.

an ideal.
Not inconsiderable among the
individuals who make up this
class are those whose fathers

of Jesse French manufacture.
In dealing with these the dealer
need not "sell"—he needs only
to show —for the piano has
long since sold itself.
