Krakauer Bros. Announce
New Piano Back Construction
Krakauer Bros., New York recently

This back was shown at the conven-
tion which took place in July in Chi-
cago. It has seven posts made of extra-
heavy genuine Sitka spruce. Every post

instrumental in stimulating the maga-
zine's interest in this article, which has
been in preparation for nearly two
years.
Of particular value to the music in-
dustry because it describes the vast
scope of interests music covers, the
article selects eight instruments for ex-
amples. They are: the violin, "poet
among the strings"; the piano, "friend
and faithful companion"; the cello,
"somber, majestic as death"; the harp,
"delicate as shifting clouds"; French
horn, "as old as man himself"; the
guitar, "a gift of antiquity"; the bas-
soon, "the chameleon of the orches-
tra"; and the organ, "noblest of in-
struments."
