AMERICAN PIANO SUPPLY CO.
Efficient Division of Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co.,
Which Fulfills Purposes Suggested by Name.
The distinctive quality of the wire and tuning pins
of the Montz Poehlmann brands, represented by
the American Piano Supply Co. division of Ham-
macher, Schlemmer & Co., New York, is that which
assures honest merit. For generations Poehlmann
Music Wire and Fly Brand Tuning Pins have made
many pianos famous for the renowned tonal quali-
ties.
The cominued prestige of Fly Brand Pins and
Poehlmann Wire is due solely to quality. Every
detail is watched minutely. Made from special drawn
wire by men who have done nothing else for a life-
time, they embody every known requisite for qual-
ity. That is why many manufacturers of high grade
pianos demand Poehlmann Wire and Fly Brand Pins.
The world-wide fame of some American pianos is
paralleled by a similarly proud characteristic distin-
guishing some of our piano supply houses. And in
viewing the position of the pianos and the piano sup-
plies, the observant piano man sees the relation of
one or the other. When the founders of the fine old
American pianos determined to make instruments
of the highest type, they also provided a purpose for
the manufacturers of piano supplies. The pioneers
in the piano supply field realized the necessities of
the early piano makers and as the years progressed
they kept constantly in view ihe constant require-
ments of the ambitious piano makers.
Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co. points to a history
which includes association with the piano in its suc-
cessive stages, and the supply house kept pace in the
consistently progressive manner of the ambitious
piano makers. An analysis of the triumphs of piano
history shows that efficiency in the production of
piano supplies was a prompt response to the demands
of the piano makers.
Any review of piano supply makers must include
mention of the piano supply distributors whose busi-
ness adds to the convenience of the piano manufac-
turers, dealers, tuners and repairmen. The name
of the American Piano Supply Co., a division of
Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co., naturally suggests
itself to every reader. Since 1848 the house has been
one of the most important feactors in supplying the
piano industry with tools peculiar to its purposes.
Today in the great workrooms at 104-106 East 13th
s.reet. New York, are stocks of dependable matc-
r'als required by the piano maker, tuner and repair-
man; piano and player hardware, felts, tools, rub-
berized player fabrics and other commodities, and
an array of tools in great variety.
