Twenty-seven pianists at twenty-seven pianos, the
largest piano ensemble ever to be attempted in the
world, was recently conducted by Harry Krinke, one
of Seattle's prominent piano instructors at the Metro-
politan Theater. Last year hundreds of people were
turned away from the evening concert, so it was
decided to present the ensemble for two evening con-
certs so that all could see and hear the ensemble.
Through the courtesy of Sherman, Clay & Co., 27
Steinway grand pianos were used for the ensemble,
and Seattle was proud to have such an accomplished
musician as instructor of such an enterprise.
The new Seattle theater, Seattle, Wash., has just
taken the second largest consignment of Knabe
pianos in the country, according to H. M. Heumann,
proprietor of the Knabe Studios, 1519 Fifth avenue,
Seattle. Four beautiful Knabe grands have been
selected by the management of the new theater and
not only is this the second largest single theatrical
installation in this country, but the order is the
largest ever given on the Pacific Coast for one make
of piano. A Knabe Ampico, finished in white and
gold has been placed in the ladies' lounge on the
mezzanine floor; two style D Knabe grands will be
used on the stage and a Knabe concert grand is
found in the orchestra pit. Mr. Heumann declares
the decision to feature these instruments in the Pa-
cific Coast's finest theater is a recognition of Knabe
standard and a compliment to the Seattle house.
There are no piano users more insistent
on a dependable piano than concert folk
and the musicians who appear continually
on the stage. The orchestra leaders are
particularly insistent on being provided
with pianos whose tunefulness is of the
kind that stands the rigorous tests in or-
chestra numbers. The Gulbransen piano,
made by the Gulbransen Company, Chi-
cago, is considered satisfactory for stage
use by a great number of musicians whose
performances depend so largely on a
piano true in tone as well as powerful in
volume. The accompanying letter from
the director and pianist of Waring's
Fennsylvanians clearly expresses the de-
sires of concert folk and specially im-
presses satisfaction with the Gulbransen.
