Piano Demand Largest
In More Than Decade
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-A more mu-
sically minded American public that
wants to play music and not just
hear it played is buying the greatest
number Of pianos this year in more
than a decade, w. A. Mennie, sec
retary of the National Piano Manu-
facturers Association, said today.
Shipments by manufacturers to-
tailed 104,740 during the first 10
months of the current year, a 21.38
per cent increase over the same pc
riod last year. Manufacturers ex-
pect sales to reach 100000 for the
year.
Although the heaviest since 1927,
sales this year will amount to less
than half of the 1928 peak year, when
350,000 pianos were sold by manu-
facturers. Up to that time the piano
had little or no radio and phono-
graph competition.
