illustrates the Piano War by a Dog
story, and Gives the bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with a handsome
Newfoundland dog. As neither had any
corroborative evidence, the astute judge
decided that the instinct of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant was placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at a
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and choose between
the claimants.
The judge called time each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog; but the dog, after
looking at the judge and surveying the
scene, escaped through the door, and
sought elsewhere its rightful owner.
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple of pauo-forte manutacturers-both
honorable men-heve been whistling their
respective centennial awards through the
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
1ne prize DelOnBS ELSEWHERE
Stripped, then, of all verbiage, subter-
fuge, elimination and recrimination, law
suits, and all side issues simply intended to
befog the public, the naked facts as to the
centennial awards are just thcse
Most of the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at The
Ouly real distinctiOn wa2 made nv tho inrv
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.
The piano, violin, and every other musi-
cal instrument is valued and purchased
for its
TONE.
Thus, then, the Baltomore house is given
an award for general excellence in the
requisites of a f1rst-class instrument In
power Of tone," to which the commission
added singing quality.
The New York house for "largest vol
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice 1t to say that the Weber award
contains all that is possible in piano-forte
"sympathy, purity, richness, and great
est power"
In short, soul in piano. A. WEBER.
