Strong Endorsements
The Hallet x Davis piano enjoys an
enviable record. The New England
Conservatory of Music. Boston. is un-
doubtedly the largest musical school in
the world, and has an average attend
ance of about two thousand pupils. This
conservatory also contains a depart
ment for instruction in piano tuning
In a letter to MessrS. Hallet & Davis. Of
Boston, Mr.. F. w. Hale. principal of
this department. says:
Your piano has been used for tuning
practice by inexperienced students for
twelve hours each day. sundays eX-
cepted, for three terms of ten weeks
each. and has actually withstood sue
cessfully 2160 tunings. and today in
all respects seems as we'll able to en-
dure a like amount again. II the above
be calculated upon a high average of
four tuningS year given to pianos
outside. this piano has already stood
more than any piano would ordinarily
in five hundred years. This action
shows no signs of weakening, though
it has been numerically pounded all
the time. If | wished to exhibit a
piano at the next worlds fair. instead
of building a new one, | would put this
one in tune. just as it is, and show TO
the world not what will be done, but
what has been done"
The elegant instrument which the
Star will give away is on display at
the Ocala Music Store and everyone is
cordially invited 70 call and examine it.
