THE Chickering Piano possesses those qualities which satisfy and will endure. ^ The 

 peculiar charm of its tone has been the despair of its imitators. ^ Its responsive touch 

 and general mechanical perfection make it the favorite instrument alike for teacher and 

 virtuoso. ^ Its refinement of finish makes it a thing of artistic beauty, and the absolute honesty 

 in every detail of material and workmanship gives it those staying powers that makes iv 

 possible to find Chickering Pianos made in 1826 in good condition to-day.
