Brass trimmings. Full keyboard of 7 3-4 octaves. Tuning Pin Bushing and Full Iron Frame ex
tending the entire length of the inst -ument. Copper wound Bass strings. Action first class and
easy. Made by skilled workmen of the very best material in a factory where quality of work and
sincere desire to make the best pianos govern the workmen.
The MARCHANT Piano is far superior to the average piano given in contests of this kind as a
$50.00 gold watch is compared to a dollar Ingersoll. This piano is manufactured by legitimat
plano makers and sold by legitimate piano merchants in a legitimate manner. So many pianos c -
fered in contests of this kind are simply makeshifts manufactured by you don't know who and c? r
rying names which are not listed in any manufacturer's or dealer's piano guide, pianos which lcok
well and sound well for a few months and then go all to pieces. The Marchant piano cannot be
classed uader the above description, but is the best $300 piano sold by the Marchant Music Co.
