pare favorab1y with this. The "Star'' Piano is
perfect gem ofinstrumental excellence, combining
I'll those qualities which In their totallty make mp

harshness. The action is something especially
worthy ofetudy, being equally free from in1cxibil
ity and weakness; the instrument Is second to
none for durability. The general agent for the
