They are not a revision of antiquated methods that have little to nc mmmi them outside of traditional sentimentalisia. Their origin, their development, indeed the:: whole record asd history. ;._-e beea along lines or demarkation peculiarly the.: own. They are the result of years of s::enr:r.: research arid experiments spc-t in the discovery of principles which, in the:: proper ap?l::at:on to the unalterable la-rs of acoustics, would produce the best tonal results. Wissner Pianos occupy a position in music's realm as firm as the reck of G:r:a.:ar. Their admirable qualities have given to the provisional world new ideas a3 to what a high grade piano really should be. Their record has been an unbroken series or artist:: triumphs, seldom, if ever equalled, and never surpassed. BROOKLYN CLUB NOTES.
