GOOD, History of a Fraud. er, of Montreal, Sold a "“Steinway” Piano, A MYSTERIOUS INSTRUMEST, Mr, Nordheimer Says Steinways are Using a Varnish which Will Not Stand the Climate. EXCEANGE NO ROBBERY, A New Steinway Plano that Looked Lakze an Old and Battle-Scarred In- strument Which hae Heen Var- nished Up to Pass For New, A Steinway Piano Made in Ham- barg-A Customer Protests. In December, 1881, Mr, S, B. Haw- ard, of Montreal, purchased of Mr. Blythe, the salesman of &8, Nord- heimer, of Montreal, a piano purport- ing to be made by Steinwsy & Sous, of NewWork, Thepiano wss chosen by Mrs, H., and so far as I can gather there {s no reason to doubt that she both saw and chose a genuine tnstra. ment, At all events she was deter- mined to have a Steinway and none other, and although some diflisulties wero raised about the prieo, the pros. pect of a cash sale induced a modifica- tion in this respect, the purchace being coneluded to the apparent satisfaction of all parttes, and a check 4hen and there paid over for the price of the plana, Unfortunately, as the plano s not an article which can be carried away, when chosen, under the uym, it becare necessary to trust to Mr, Blytke s gocd faith to send heme the piano selected that afternoon, Whether, in fact, he did so ar not, there are no means of prowding. | This only is certaln, that when the piano appeared the lady refuced to recoguize it, and emphatically de- elared that there was something wrang with it, and that she was confident it | was not the same plano at all, The case was spoited In places, the varnish having spparently suferad from the | climate, and more strange still, when the case was opened there was 10 nk. ber in the place in which such things generally are found, UObserve, I am |far from saying that there was no | umber ou the plano. I know, and {you know, the position occupied by piano, aad that my informant can poeltively declare is that there was no uumber {n the right hand top eorner, | nor anywhere else that he could find, | Perhaps Mr. Tretbar or Mr. William | Btelnway, 1f you ask them, can tell you where the firm of Steinway & Sons, of Hambarg, if such a firm there be, pumbers Iits pianos, [ do How Messrs. A. & §. Nordheim- the tho number in the genuine Steinway | not know, nor can I, without having seen it, express any opinion as to what the piano really was; an old New Yorker doctored up and with a number dating back & quarter of a century judiciously removed or a brand new and superior Instroment—albelt in- voiced at one-third prico—from the Steinway's factory or agency or what- ever it may be, acros the water, Any- how a satisfactory instrument it was not, and Mr. H. insisted on this in a a series of interviews, stormy and oth- erwise, with Mr. Blythe, who, for his part, inslsted on attributing the dis- satisfaction of his customers to a “whim" of Mra. H n expression which nearly cost him s black eye, on one occasion, Mr. H. also abont this time met Mr, Nordheimer in town and appealed to him to put the matter right, Mr, Nordhoimer was all sympathy. The whole thing was the fault of & new varnish which the Steinways were using on thelr planos, and which would not stand ourclimate—at which you will emile, though I hardly think the Steinways will; and as to that number, oh, there must be sume mis- take about that. ‘‘Anyway,” so con- tinued the obliging old gentleman, ‘‘send the plano down to the store -and T will get it fixed for you.” Meanwhlle, however, the time had run on, and the summer was at hand, 8o it was decided when thoe H.'s de- parted for the seaside, the plano should be properly done up and be ready for them on their return, 8o in June this was done, and our numberless and spotty piano is sent in dlsgrace to the store to have that Steinway varnish scraped off. Now, it may not be amiss here, in ng, to note in connection with this varnish question, that the great dffficulty with which European makers who import planos iato this country exporience, arises from the fact that their instruments are almost exclu. sively finished with Fronch polish, which, in fact, does not and will not stand.our climate, but suffers precise- ly in the way in which this plano 1s reported to have suffered. Here agawn, perhaps, Mr, Tretbar will tell you how many French polished pianos he turns out in New York, and perhaps again intelligent readers will be able todraw their own conclusions a8 to tho character of this much. maligned tnstrument, To continue our story, the H.'s were away s:me two menth, | and on her retarn Mrs. H. called | Nordheime:'s to inform Mr, Blythe of the fact and to aek to have the plano sentup to her house. To her sur. prise, she was informed that the en. tire avallable force of the establish. ment were still stroggling with the almost insuperable difficulties pre. sented by that Steinway varnish, but | that the piano would be ready in ten Howeyer, in ten days or 50 a plano does arrive, and is aapacked. Imagine | | the congternation of the lady when | she beholds & plano which at & glance | | she deelares to be an entirely different | one. It has quite an altered appear. fully snggent tc such an excoedingly his hauds. of the piano, ar sary to do was to co the custom house in quire whether piano number s came from New York and wkh have been sufficiently gratetul for, However, the caee, itaelf appears to have been in the wars, Mr. H. told me at one time that it looked as though it had recently boen unpacked. On my second visit he said it looked like an old and battle scarred instra- mertt, which had been varnished up to pss for new. Anyhow, it1s & poor pisno—poorer even than the first— and presents s second interesting problem as to its origin, which T will leave you to solve for yourself upon the tacts, Mr. H., however, I regret to say, did not appreciate the beauty of the roblem thus offered for his solution. e had been sold a second time—in all probability the piano was even worse off in this respect than he—and to say that he raised Oain over his dis- lppo{m.mem is to put the matter mildly, You don’t want me to tell you of how he hauled Petersen, manager of the Measrs. A, & 8, Nordheimer, over the coals, of the opprobious epithots he applied to Blythe, or of his regrets, expressed to me, that he had not split the latter gentleman's nose. Suffice it that after a Homerlc contest had been waged for upwards of a month, he finally, in Ootober, 1882, drew up a notarlal agreement binding the Nordheimers to dellver to him within thirty days a brand new Sieinway plano fresh from the New York fac tory, and with all the advantages of Mr, Petersen’s personal selection, This agreement the Toronto house ac- knowledged and undertook to carry out within the time specified Now open your ears, for I am com- ing to the interesting part, From the consequences of their action so far it Is possible that a few good straight | ‘““truths” might save Biythe and his house, or at all events might save the house at the expense of the agent, | and you know ‘00 man ever got on of 8 big sorape excopt by a big truth. But the scrape fnto which they have got by their next action is one out of which the biggest ‘‘truth” which the two Nordhelmers, assisted by Blythe | and Potersen (with all his practice in | that department), and the entire strength of the company can forge, | will not suftice to extract them, | Shortly before the expiration of the | thirty doys Mr. H. was informed that | his piano was ready for delivery, Heo asked for the number, mindfal of his | previous experiences, and It was hand- | | New York, ance in Montreal was entered from HAMBURG! Now if Petersen can see his way out of thig, I cannot, Anyway the row which it ralsed in | the neighborhood of our belligerent ( friend, Mr. H. can be better imagined than described. The agreement was protested, and Mr. Blythe, suriously enough, left on a visit to Toronto, which was perhaps wiso, meeing that had the protest been allowed to expire, he would have run a very vood chance of belug arrested Fortunately for him, Peterson at last awoke to & sense of the position, and harried post haste to New York, | whence, just one day within time, ar- rived at last s genuine New York Stetnway, new ttyle, costing tho firm some £40' extra, but at longth satisfy- ing the demands of thelr troublesome customer, A good wine needs no bush, and a good story may be left without alizing. As to how far the Steinw: are cognlzant of this unscrupulous use of a Germon piano bearing their name, and imported into this country to take the place of a genuine New York made Instrament, you must | judge for yourself. 1 morely give you the facts of one proven case. s it, do you think, likely to prove a solitary one!
