THE CELEBRATED

SOHMER

GRAND, SQUARE AND UPRIGHT PIANOFORTES ARE

Preferred by Leading Artists.

The demands now made by an educated musical public are so exacting that very few Pianoforte Manufacturers can produce instruments that will stand the test which merit requires. SOHMER & CO., as Manufacturers, rank amongst this chosen few, who are acknowledged to be makers of standard instruments. In these days, when many manufacturers urge the low price of their wares rather than their superior quality as an inducement to purchase, it may not be amiss to suggest that, in a Piano, quality and price are too inseparably joined to expect the one without the other.

Every Piano ought to be judged as to quality of its tone, its touch and its workmanship; if any of these is wanting in excellence, however good the others may be, the instrument will be imperfect. It is the combination of these qualities in the highest degree, that constitutes the perfect Piano, and it is this combination that has given the "SOHMER" its honorable position with the trade and the public. Musical authorities and critics prefer the "SOHMER" Pianos, and they are purchased by those possessing refined musical taste and appreciating the richest quality of tone andt he highest perfection generally in a Piano.

The Sohmer Pianos are used in the following Institutions: N. Y. COLLEGE OF MUSIC; VOGT'S CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC; VILLA MARIA CONVENT, Montreal VIILA DE SALES CONVENT, Long Island; N. Y. NORMAL CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC; PHILADELPHIA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, and most all the leading first-class theatres in NEW YORK and BROOKLYN. Received First Prize at Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876.

Received First Prize at Exhibition, Montreal, Canada, 1881 and 1882.
