Carrying out his promise, Scha- piro told the Juneau story to the| Baldwin Company President ana the Manager of the New York office. Of a number of pianos he | tried out, Schapiro decided that a Lig one priced at $3,000 was ideal for Juncau's needs. Through Schapiro’s furt offices, the Baldwin pe unheard-of allowances worthy instrument might be avail- able at a price within reach. They reduced it to $2,500, and offered to ray half the transportation costs from New York to £ additional saving of $125. wrote, “They showed me the cata- logue price for such a piano when out of the factory—$6,700!” A bank draft is on the this real bargain in upper-bracket concert instruments. With it will come a “new piano” guarantee. “This was such an unbelicvably good offer that we could not let it slip away,” said Ernest Ehler, President of the Juneau Concert Association. “The piano fund had her good e made that a 50 ay for $1,800. For the rest, thanks to several public- spirited citizens co-signing the note, we have obtained a lo from the First National Bank, and the piano soon will ke on the way. “Qur own finest musical talent has offered to give a benelit con- cert, and there is no question but that the piano itself will help earn the talance needed to repay the note. Everyone—musicians, bankers, private citizens—everyone is bend- ing every effort toward having fne; music in Juneau.” As though the obtaining of the piano were not enough of a triumph, a letter from Schapiro served to ‘“cap the climax. “By a lucky circumstance,” he wrote from New York, “I am able to arrange my spring tour so 1 can | return to Fairbanks for a concert in March . . . SCHAPIRO HERE IN MARCH Quick negotiations followed, and the Concert Association has ob- | tained assurance from Schapiro that he can come here in March to “inaugurate” the new Juneau piano. In this regard, Schapiro wrote, “How appropriate! I rememoer that many people told me I should be the one to inaugurate and dedi- cate the new instrument, but I would not then have thought I! could return so soon. I hope all those who took part in our ex- citing evening will come again to hear the music I can get from this notle piano. What a joy it will be, after the miserable instruments. “I do not doubt,” Schapiro con- tinued, “that we can make an- | other gala event out of it—and| possibly ‘hit the jackpot’ again.” In a personal note to Ehler, Schapiro recounted his convers tions with Baldwin officials and NOW — NEW — Yakutat $30.00 Homer $87.00 [ 109% Reduction *Plus Tax Daily Sched Anchorage — Cordova — Kodiak Homer — Yakutat Connections at Anchorage for all Interiar and Westw Picir1¢ NORTHI | ond concert. ‘We cannot make further ar- rangements until we know exactly I presumably had been (the hands of guerrillas.) from JUN EAU artist may be engaged for the secc- how we stand,” said Ehler.
