to the public we scarcely know any instrument
so fully uniting all the desirable qualities sought
for Us the Knabe Piano. 1t is matter Of some
difficulty and perpexity to inexperienced per
sons to select good instrument ofany capacity.
Wetoo often rely upon hejudgment OF friends in
the selection ola piano, and are thus frequently
disappointed. The only sure way, in our opinion
is to 20 to the best maker. For this reason, we
recommend to our readers to purchase Pianos
OF VIM. knabe 4 Cos. manufactures This will
relieve them the vuXatlOuS necessity OF wasting
