Unfore tunately, however, many people forget that a piano worthy of the name is an artistic instrue ment; that it must be built by the artist, not merely by the mechanic, High sounding claims high grade, artistic pianos, and the guarantee which the name of a reputable maker gives you, Why does a Stradivari violin command such an exalted place among musicians when another, to all outward appearance the same, can be bought for a couple of dollars? One has the genius of the artist alive in it, while the other is but the lifeless shell of .an‘mitation. It is this indefinable something, this genius of the artist, alive in the Sterling Piano | which makes the Sterling Piano a lifelong pleasure and satisfaction tothe musician and links to the name a guar- antee that has grown sttonger and stronger as it nearsa Half Century of Popularity There is something in a name when it protects your best interests and guards you against misrepresentation. The danger to the piano buyer lies in the stencilled piano—that is, pianos made for the trade by factories unknown to the public and sold by bargain stores under various names that mean nothing except exaggerated claims and so-called yvreat price reductions. Look for the Real Maker of the piano you purchase; his reputation measures the real artistic value of your instrument. We are Piano Specialists.
