Among the larger exhib-
its is a Wurlitzer grand
f)iano, designed by Rus-
sel Wright, the versatile
young man whose chief
fame rests on his work in
aluminum. Although the
piano represents no revo-
lution in the design of
these musical instruments,
k is possibly the better for
its conservatism.
The
grand piano form is left
essentially as it has been
for many years, and the
design represents a sig-
nificant simplification of
individual members of the
structure and its joints.
The lid, for example, is
set back from the edge
sufficiently to leave visi-
ble the copper hinges. The
piano is notable as a
workmanlike and clean
job of intelligent design-
