The Great Test
of a Piano's True Value
Before .yo'i buy any piano ask yourself this ques
tion! "What will this p ano be worth twenty-five
years from now?" Satisfy yourself with the
answer, and you must buy a Steinway, It is well
known that the vital parts of a Steinway are prao
tical y indestructible, and that after many years'
use, the worn parts can be replaced at little cogt .
so that a Steinway is as Imper shable as the great
name it bears always a thing ef supreme value.
Steinway Duo-Art Piano Is a combination of three great
Instruments-the finest of pianos, the best player piano and
a Reproduction Piano that permits you to recreate the play
ing of the great artists. You are welcome to try It.
