made by manufacturers who stand high
in the estimation of the musical public.
The Knabe piano Is celebrated and has
an international reputation, and will be
remembered as the instrument upon
which Carreno, the famous pianist, who
toured the country last year, performed.
This plano is played by the great mas
tiers and the leading performers of the

which no other musical pianoforte has
ever attained There are also two in
struments exhibited which are Of the
well known make of Stultz & Bauer.
These pianos are In thousands of

unsurpassed by their general appear
ance, substantial construction, breadth
and beauty Of tone. 1t Is piano that Is
particularly noted for Its singing quail
tiles. One Of these pianos is cased in
beautiful Circassian walnut and the
