particularly impressed the many
hundreds who inspected these in

There was no installing their must

There were Steger uprights and

the cases may well be proud of their
achievements. Every piano from
the gorgeous line of the beautiful
Louis XIV Grand down to the Sc

expressed the latest tendencies in
quality piano-building.
The new player-piano models, in
Guiding the beautiful player grand,
