There are many pianos which
merely have sound, as distin-
guished from pianos with tone
Many cheap pianos sound good
while they are new. Others of a
medium grade sound as we'll for
many years as when new, but
wholly lack the artistic tone quail
ity which appeals to the discrim-
mating musician, and which Ia
characteristic of the Hallet &
Davis instruments. 1t was be-
cause of the beautiful tonal eff
fects which he could get from the
Hallet G Davis, that the immor-
tai Franz List praised them above
all Others in 1867 at the Paris ex-
position.
II Is this same attribute OF the
Hallet & Davis piano, combined
with wonderful durability, which
caused the New England Conser-
vatory to install a large number
of them in its practicing rooms at
Boston, where thousands of stu
dents are annually in attendance.
To get nearer home, 1t Is the
splendid tone, the responsive
action and the SURPRISING beauty
and artistic lines of the case de-
signs which have given the Hallet
& Davis, without doubt, the great
est sales record of any piano sold
In Tacoma since the Silvers Pr
ano company began the exploita-
ton of it's merits seven months
ago.
Piano History
The history of the piano max
er's art in America almost has its
beginning with the Hallet &
Davis, only one piano manufacture
er having antedated 1t by few
years. Since 1889, the makers OF
the Hallet & Davis have striven
toward the one ideal which still is
dominant in the mind of every
man connected with its making,
from the workmen and skilled me-
chanics on up to the superintend-
ent of the factory, the office
force and the men of finance al
the head of the institution, viz.
To build pianos for the home.
No Subsidization of Artists.
One line of advertising which
Messrs. Hallet & Davis have never
done is to send their pianos
through the country to be played
by the travelling concert pianist
who invariably receives large
salary from the maker of the pi-
ano which he plays. This Is the
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-03-25

reason, and the only reason, why
the Hallet & Davis Is priced more
reasonably than other high grade
pianos of contemporaneous manu-
facture. True, such advertising
gives a piano a reputation and
such pianos are usually sold upon
the reputation thus obtained rath-
er than upon their intrinsic value
as musical instrument. No pi-
ano man, piano tuner, music
teacher or musician can success
fully controvert our claims when
We say that there Is no piano ON
earth which costs more to manu-
facture, has better material, high
er grade workmanship or possess
ses more points of durability Of
construction, a better tone or .
more responsive action than tho
Hallet & Davis. To see the Hallet
& Davis is to admire It. To hear
its tone is to feel an inspiration
and to compare the prices ut
which Hallet & Davis pianos are
sold in Tacoma, as contrasted with
the prices asked for any number
of pianos of more recent manufac-
ture, which are altogether ma
chine made and which have abso-
lutely no quality to Justify their
being mentioned in the same class,
is to become purchaser of one Of
these world-famous Hallet d
Davis instruments.
The list of Hallet & Davis own
ers in Tacoma Is one continuous
line of satisfied customers, hum
dreds of them. The churches, the
colleges, the schools, lodges and
many, many private homes who
have Hallet & Davis pianos all at
test to their superlative merit. We
can show you Hallet & Davis a.
amos in Tacoma which have been
used by the various members OF
the same family through three sue
cessive generations. Just a little
way out on the Point Defiance
line, in the home of the managing
editor of one of Tacoma's leading
daily newspapers, Is a Hallet Il
Davis plano more than nineteen
years old. which has been moved
seventeen times, tuned only sew
en- times and is in precisely like
new condition at this hour. The
owner will gladly tell any inter-
ested inquirer what he thinks OF
the Hallet & Davis piano.
Can't we sell you a Hallet q

$3.50 to s450. Easy terms Of pay
