STEIN WAY
THE INSTRUMENT OF THE
IMMORTALS
HENRY STEINWAY
Ijjsj
making hs first pitimr
To the early masters, who were keenly
handicapped by existing instruments, the
Steinway was a consummation which had
been devoutly wished. Liszt and Wagner
proclaimed it the ideal grand piano. "A
Beethoven sonata can only be fully ap-
preciated when rendered upon one of
your pianofortes," wrote Richard Wagner.
Today the Steinway is as much a per-
sonal product of the Steinway family as
it was in the beginning. Four generations
have contributed their genius to its on-
ward march of power and perfection.
Rachmaninoff, Hofmann, Friedman,
Levitzki, Lhevinne—many pianos awaited
them—but they found the Steinway still
supreme.
In their devotion to the making of so
great a piano the family of Steinway have
not contributed solely to the require-
ments of the masters. In addition to the
concert grand there is the upright, the
miniature grand, baby grand, parlor grand,
and other styles and sizes. Each of these
presents a separate problem in piano
manufacture. Each calls for a separate
adjustment of creative effort and struc-
tural requirements.
And yet, in every Steinway, no matter
what the style or size, regardless of
mechanical limitations, reposes the inim-
itable evidence of Steinway manufacture
the quality, which as Ernest Hutcheson
has said "converts a machine into a soul."
Any new Steinway piano may be purchased with a cash deposit of 10%, with the balance
extended over a period of two years. Used pianos accepted in partial exchange.
Prices: $875 and up — plus freight
