When a professional musician recom
mends purchase of a Steinway piano, it is
evidence of unbiased opinion, and testi
mony to direct interest in the pupil's wel
fare, since we do not allow commissions.
Great numbers of musicians have bought
Steinways for personal use, because they
get so much more value; and for this
reason many urge their pupils to get the
best, even at the cost of temporary self
denial. There are some musicians who do
not know Steinway quality, and to them
we extend a cordial invitation to test these
instruments in our large warcrooms, where
more than sixty pianos may be seen in one
assembly. Particular attention is directed
