Note its lack of resonance and tin-panny quality. They all get that way on account of the inability of the sounding-board to retain its tension. WHY DOES A VIOLIN IMPROVE WITH AGE AND USE? Simply be couse the top of tbe violin retains its crown by being supported by the soundsng-post, thus improving in tone each year. How long would the top retain its crown withoW the sounding-post - , This is the trouble with pianos. WHY SHOULD NOT A PIANO IMPROVE IN TONE WITH USE AND AGE?, The tone quality lasts but a few years in all grand pianos. Every grand piano in the world, but a Mason & Hamlin, deteriorates from the date of its completion. THE MASON & HAMLIN DOES IMPROVE BY USE. ' : The marvelous tension resonator discovered by Richard W. Gerts, embodied in the Mason & Hamlin grand pianos, is considered the most wonderful invention of its kind, by the entire piano world. Ask any dealer how the sounding-board in his so-called "best piano" can possibly retain its original tension without a "tension-j-esonator," burdened as it is with the tremendous strain of a great number of strings bearing down upon it. Just ask him that question. His piano cannot do it. None but the Mason & Hamlin can, as the tension resonator is patented and is used in no other piano. Two years are required to create a Mason & Hamlin upright and two and one-half years to create a grand. No other piano made requires over six months. Is it any wonder that they are the costliest in the world? Every musician, pianist, teacher and piano tuner in Portland, who has seen these pianos, has pronounced them the most beautiful and wonderful toned instruments they have ever tried or listened to. You will think the same. This is no idle talk. EVERY STATEMENT IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT. Every great pianist, not paid by a certain manufacturer to play his piano, owns a Mason & Hamlin piano. Mason & Hamlin pay no artists to use or exploit their pianos. Nor will they present the crown heads of Europe with a piano for their worthless tes timonials. A paid artist's testimonial is not worth the paper on which it is written. A recent visitor to Portland used in the Middle West for her concerts a certain make of piano, which she called the best; but out West another make was substituted, as the manufac turer in the first instance did not feel disposed to pay for advertising his piano in all the Western States, so her manager simply, made arrangements for her 'to declare another piano the best, charging the manufacturer so much per state. Since the discovery of the tension resonator, Harold Bauer, Gabrilowitsch, Katherine Goodson, Emil Paur, Nickisch, Ganz, Kneisel, and others too numerous to mention, use ab solutely no other but the Mason & Hamlin piano. They consider their artistic reputa tion more valuable than money. . We could only secure five Mason & Hamlin pianos for 1908, and are promised no more than that number for the next year. A carload of any other make of piarto can be se cured on 10 hours' notice. The Mason & Hamlin piano is only constructed for people that are willing to pay for absolutely the best piano in the world.
