There are Steinway cases inspired by all the famous periods of decoration STEINWAY THE IT IS A CIVILIZED ROOM I N S T R U M E N T O F T H E I M M O R T A L S . * . a room distinguished by urbane color, brilliant dignity, and the art rather than the cult of comfort. Within it life seems induced to a pleasant pace. It seems really to exercise a subtle sway over the smiles of ladies, over the manners of men. After an evening spent there, people are moved to say (not quite able to identify the faint, beguiling atmosphere that lingers like a fragrance in the memory), "What a delightful evening we have spent!"

Designed by artists, tooled and turned by hereditary craftsmen from fine woods and ivory, finished and polished to a rare excellence of surface, the Steinway is a veritable crystal of culture. But the Steinway is more than a decoration radiating the influence of civilized beauty.

For the family that has made it during the better part of a century consistently has met the high obligation of insuring that the Steinway should be the instrument of the great house . . . the great musician . . . no more than of the family of moderate means.
