THE NEW BEALE PIANO 



^ppreciatbn by oDislinguished'Pianist 



^HE New Beale Piano is chosen and used by many artists of eminent 

 standing in the musical world. Oscar Asche has endorsed it; Lindley 

 Evans has enthused about it ; these are the musicians who are swayed 

 by nothing but the utter artistry of a piano. 



Only recently we received a very friendly note from Mr. Frank Hutchens, which it 

 gives us pleasure to reprint. Mr. Hutchens has had a brilliant musical career and 

 is capable of the fullest appreciation of a piano's worth. He is a New Zealander, 

 born in Christchurch in 1892 and at a very early age showed signs of remarkable 

 musical ability. When ten years old he studied at the Royal Academy of Music. 

 At the age of fourteen he won the Sterndale Bennett Scholarship, and later the 

 Thalberg Scholarship, the Heathcote Long Prize, Hine Prize for composition and 

 Chappel Gold Medal. At sixteen he was appointed sub-professor of the R.A.M, 

 In 1913 was elected Associate of the RA.M. In 1921 he was acclaimed by the 

 London Press as a great player of Chopin. While in London he was engaged as 

 pianist to tour withToscha Seidel in Australia, New Zealand and Honolulu. He 

 has been a professor of the N.S.W. Conservatorium of Music since its inception.
