The triumphs of the best living pianists as shown by the enthusiastic criticism of press and musical critics everywhere, could not have been accomplished to the same degree without the aid of an instrument of the inimitable character of the PIANO While former knowledge of and experience with the superior tone, construction and wearing qualities of the Chickering Piano by those upon whom it devolved to au- thorize the purchase of the above Grands, no doubt had its influence, still the choice was not made before first thoroughly examining and comparing practically all the world’s best. pianos.
