MAYFAIR MODEL IS NEW
BRINKERHOFF GRAND
Piano of Beautiful Design Is Finished in
Latest High Light Effects with Hand-
Rubbed Lacquers.
The Mayfair is a new small grand piano of the
Brinkerhoff Piano Company, which is described and
pictured in a handsome folder. The new model is
5 feet in length.
For three decades Brinkerhoff pianos have been rec-
ognized for their exacting workmanship, their splen-
did musical qualities, and their great length of life.
Now, in the Mayfair, has been added exquisite sym-
metry of line and daintiness to please the most
fastidious. The acoustical qualities have been clev-
erly developed within five feet of length to afford full
tone volume. Careful regulation permits the most
gentle variations in pianissimo and superb tonal col-
oring. A finely made action ensures touch of great
delicacy, responsive to any whim of the performer.
The Brinkerhoff Mayfair is finished in the latest
shaded high-light effects. Successive coats of clear
lacquer are applied on the veneers, and are then
rubbed by hand until a transparent sheen brings
out the full beauty of the wood. The result is a
mellow beauty of rich contrast to the ivory keys. Xo
other woods but mahogany and walnut, solid or in
highly figured veneers, are employed in the manufac-
ture of Mayfair cases. The hardware fittings are of
special design and solid brass.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR
THE PIANO CLUB OF CHICAGO
stinted praise to the Chicago committee for the ex-
cellent convention work it had done.
The club voted thanks to the various interests that
had contributed to the success of the week's gather-
ing and especially to the Brunswick-Balke Com-
pany for the talent provided and the music furnished,

The summer season now begins with the club and
its activities, and henceforth throughout the summer
the customary weekly schedule of entertainment will
be dispensed with. The meetings will be roundtablc
fellowship affairs.
