Weber Pianos
HEINRICH CONRIED, Director of the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company, writes as follows:
"From time to time during the past operatic season I have been impressed with the wonderful resources of the Weber Pianos which we have been using at the Metropolitan.
"Subjected to immense usage by reason of our numerous rehearsals, these instruments nevertheless retain their exquisite tone-quality.
"I know of no piano that would give us better satisfaction, and it is my desire that the Weber Piano shall continue to be used at the Metropolitan Opera House."
HEINRICH CONRIED.
"Mr. Conried's letter, following as it does the tribute of Maurice Grau to the Weber Piano when he was at the head of the Metropolitan Opera House organization, shows the great place long ago won and always retained by the Weber among the greatest people in the musical world, and demonstrates that this artistic instrument has in that atmosphere the proper setting for its merits."—The Music Trades.
