The American Musician

Devotes six columns Of late issue to the
history of the Chickering Piano.
The following excerpts will show how
this instrument is regarded by the trade
papers and the world of music in general:
"Over three-quarters of a century ago
Jonas Chlekerlng, practical piano-maker,
founded the Chickering firm.
HE may, in broad sense, be said to have
been the father Of the pianoforte industry
of this country, for it is from his advent
that all real progress in piano making
dates.
"His sons, G. Frank Chickering and
George II. Chickering, who have carried on
the business since his death, have main
tanned the traditions of the house, being
also both mechanics and practical piano
makers.
4 y Il * x =
''The great impetus to piano building was
given some half a century ago, when Jonas
Chlckering invented and introduced the
iron frame. This his sons, Frank and
George, perfected, and it was this iron
frame which made possible all those won
derful improvements which followed among
all the leading piano makers and gave the
American pianoforte its magnificent tone,
its splendid reliability, and made it without
peer among the instruments of the world.
Even musicians have no idea of the
labor and skill that has been required to
make the pianoforte what it is to-day. No
adequate idea can be obtained, unless we
place an old harpsichord. square piano,
say OF 1925, an upright aud grand of 1850,
side by side with the square of say 1875 and
uprights and grands of the present day.
WHAT triumph Of mans ingenuity; what
a testimony to his earnestness of purpose,
his inventive skill and genius. And to
think that there is scarcely step in the
gradual evolution of the harpsichord to that
orchestra in itself-the Grand Piano of to-
day-with which the name of Chickering
is not more or less connected and associ-
ated. Observation-Disclosures.
