There are Steinways in service today that were given as Wedding Presents more than 50 years ago. They have been handed down as heirlooms from one generation to another. About them cling memories dearer than those as;;ciated with any other object in the house- hold. The beauty of its rich, sympathetic quality of tone—its resonant, harmonious bass—its sparkling, mellow treble—its in- stant response to your moods—all combine to make the Steinway MORE than a mere piano; it is.like an intimate friend who has shared in vyour happiness and trials and, never faltering, remains loyal and true under any and all conditions—ever a source Z’ron.t which flows comfort, pleasure and mspiration.
