WHAT DO YOU DUY
WHEN YOU BUY A PIANO?
Not this or that point of construction, not so much
steel, wood, etc. But you should know how to tell tone,
touch and action. If you know what to look for in a
piano and you find it, then you know that it certainly is
built of the best materials and will give life-long satis
faction, Then if the manufacturer knows nothing else
but building a piano, then you can hope to receive the
long looked for tone of a piano.
But in the manufacture of the Hallet & Davis and
Gulbransen pianos, you know that you are buying the
product of the largest manufacturers of pianos. Manu
facturers that have had more than eighty-five years ex
perience in building pianos that give lasting satisfaction.
This is one of the reasons why the Hallet & Davis and
Gulbransen ’Cfttn panics have grown to be the largest '
manufacturers of pianos.
Come and sec these unusual values and get a piano
that has the tone, the touch and the action you have
been waiting for.
