ADVERTISEMENTS. In the Purchase of a Grand Piano While there are several differ- ent makes of Grand Pianos, there are no more than four or five worth while to even consider. In fact, two-thirds of all the Grand Pianos sold are confined to two or three makes. There can be no stronger proof possible of the very superior excellence of the | Knabe Grand Piano over all oth- ers than is in the fact that it is used in the studios of our great- est téachers, on the concert stage py the most famous periormers, in the most elegant American homes, and in the homes of Eu- rope’s nobility. Our small Knabe Parlor Gr: think you will say is the hnn‘;:)me:: grand piano you ever saw. For studios and th homes, the Parlor Concert Grand is simply ideal.
