NEW CHICKERING AND MARSHALL & WENDELL MODELS
One hundred and six years of experience—more
than a century of improvements—are embodied in the
new Chickering piano models just presented by
Chickering & Sons. Modern smartness of design is
a notable feature of the 1929 models offered at new-
prices. The touch of furniture designers, art of
architects, opinions of people of culture, all are em-
bodied in the new range of Chickering models.
The Chickering conventional grand is a beautifully
designed instrument and a piece of furniture of rare
tastefulness. It comes in richly grained mahogany
and in finest quality walnut. The Chickering Shera-
ton is a splendid example of the piano case designer's
art. Looking at its graceful lines one understands
why Sheraton furniture appeals so strongly to people.
The model is presented in deep brown mahogany.
Other models in the group are the Chickering Flor-
entine, Chickering Conventional Ampico grand and
the new Marshall & Wendell grand.
The new Marshall & Wendell small grand is spon-
sored by Chickering and each plate reads: "Design
and manufacture supervised by Chickering & Sons."
This new mahogany grand piano is offered at a price
to interest buvers.

PIANO STUDENTS' DEMONSTRATION.
The Chicago Piano Club at its Monday luncheons
devotes the entire "speaking hour" to the matter of
the forthcoming Music Industries Convention the
week of June 3. At the meeting this week G. R.
Brownell, chairman of the committee, gave a talk on
convention matters, urging every member of the club
to work for the success of the convention at the
Drake Hotel. Other speakers joined in urging a large
attendance, among them Gordon Laughead, who said
that he believed there would be a good attendance of
dealers and that manufacturers would do well to
encourage the trade to come to Chicago. He said
that his observations in the trade, and he has been
traveling, indicated that stocks of new pianos are low,
generally speaking. He said he believed the time
was ripe for an increasing interest in the piano busi-
ness. In short, Mr. Laughead aroused a good deal of
interest in the good things to be expected at the
convention the week of June 3.
Quite extensive preparations are being made for
the general demonstration of public school piano stu-
dents, scheduled to take place at Orchestra Hall
Thursday evening, May 23. Nine grand pianos have
already been tendered bv manufacturers and dealers
A NELSON-WIGGEN ITEM.
It is announced that the Nelson-Wiggen Piano Co.,
manufacturers of automatic pianos and organs, will
move their factory and headquarters to Rockford,
111., and become more closely associated with the
Haddorff Piano Co. of that city. This evidently sig-
nifies that the Nelson-Wiggen line of automatic pianos
will be entirely produced at the Haddorff factory.

ZENITH RADIO PRESIDENT'S YACHT
Commander E. F. McDonald.

and has a cruising radius of 6,000
miles. The commander is no
newcomer to yachting, having
previously owned 22 other boats.
Commander McDonald made a
trip to the Arctic with the Mac-
Millan expedition several years
ago, and he plans to use the
newly acquired Mizpah for fur-
ther Arctic exploration work,
possibly late this spring.
