THE BEST PIANO ?
Citing some feature of mechanical excellence
or some peculiar patented device, or some point
of finish, other pianomakers claim a degree of
superiority for their instruments. Two gener
ations ago Steinway had outgrown these ele
mental factors and had passed into a new realm
of musical quality, in which the makers have
pursued alone a progressive course of improve
ment, year to year. All
