STEIN WAY 
THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS 
B eneath his hands ‘the most renowned 
pianos of the world’ have voiced their great¬ 
est glory. His genius has tested every great piano- 
maker’s work. Yet, for Alfred Cortot, there is 
but ‘one perfect instrument, the Steinway.’ You 
who are about to select a piano, do you not find 
conviction in the experience of this master ? 
What need that you experiment ? What guide 
more sure than this: that since Henry Steinway 
made his first piano the greatest artists have pre¬ 
ferred above all others the instrument that bears 
his name? Franz Liszt! Wagner! Rubinstein! 
The Steinway was their piano. It is played and 
loved by Paderewski, by Hofmann, by Rachman¬ 
inoff. Friedman and Levitzki will have no other. 
Successively each generation of the Steinway 
family has preserved the purpose that its product 
shall be as truly the piano of the home as it is 
the chosen instrument of the concert stage. The 
qualities that have endeared it to the masters are 
embodied in every Steinway that is made. 
Whether you select an upright or a grand piano, 
for your home there is a Steinway which in tone 
and touch and action matches that which Cortot 
plays. Once you have set fingers to such an 
instrument, once you have known the beauty of 
its response, for you, thereafter, there can be but 
one perfect piano, the Steinway.’ 
There is a Steinway dealer in your community or near you through whom you may 
purchase a neiv Steinway piatto with a cash deposit of io%, and the balance will 
be extended over a period of two years. Used pianos accepted in partial exchange.
