THE BEST PIANQ
The making of a Steinway is even more exact than the
assembly and adjustment of a line watch it is a con
stant, progressive test for the highest efficiency by
scientific and practical trial.
Every metal part is cast or wrought from alloys
originated by Steinway & Sons, best adapted for the
required service ; but before this metal becomes a part I
of a Steinway it is tested for strength, or flexibility, or
tensility, in machines whose accurately adjusted,"
gauges infallibly disclose any fault. Then again, by test, 1 1
that part must agree with all other parts on which it j J
depends, or with which it operates. I

has made Steinway standard
