The Sterling Piano.
The Sterling Co.: Birmingham, Conn. Gents:--I am the possessor of one of your Style G Pianos, which I am happy to say is in every sense an excellent instrument. My professional duties call me in direct contact with all classes of makes and makers, and it is gratifying to find there is combined in the Sterling Piano all the qualities requisite to produce that which, in an artistic sense, can be truly termed an excellent instrument. The action is regulated to a nicety, the tone is rich, pure and refined in quality. Your piano can justly claim a prominent place in the ranks of the first-class pianos of our country. Yours respectfully, Prof. E. L. Sanford.
Rutland, Vt., November 17, 1888. Gentlemen: -- After an experience of thirteen years as a practical tuner of pianos, a portion of which time I have tuned a number of Sterling instruments, I take great pleasure in stating that for standing in tune, quality of tone, thoroughness of construction, together with other desirable qualities, the Sterling has no superior. Very respectfully yours, W. J. Danforth.
"Mr. Wood T. Ogden. Middletown, one of the largest dealers in New York State, in a recent letter writes.--"These pianos fully meet the wants of my trade, and will be the leading instruments of this country."
Mr. John M. Schuler, formerly manufacturer of pianos, but now one of the leading dealers of Buffalo, N.Y., says: "I am surprised at the perfection obtained in your instruments, and desire every protection for the sale of the Sterling pianos in this section."
Leavenworth, Kan., Jan. 7, 1889. The Sterling Co., Derby, Con.:-- Gentlemen: We have handled the Sterling Piano for some time and consider it the best medium-priced piano in the market, and in every way a very desirable and satisfactory instrument. Very truly, Carl Hoffman.
The Sterling Piano! Mr. Adam Leininger, one of the first and best known musicians of our town, says: -- "I am in love with the tone of your Pianos, and the marked improvements you have made, and cheerfully recommend them to all wanting a superior instrument."
The New York World in commenting upon the piano exhibits at the late American Institute Fair in this city, was full of praise for the Sterling Pianos, and stated that "the company has exhausted art in the magnificent finish put upon these instruments." Mr. George W. Morgan, the eminent musician, who was chairman of the committee of awards at this fair, awarded the first prize over all competition to the Sterling piano.
Birmingham, Conn., November 30, 1889. The Sterling Co.: Gents: -- I had the pleasure this evening of playing for the first time on a Sterling Grand. While I have played on numbers of well-known manufacturers of Grands, I have never yet seen a piano possessing all the attributes to make a really magnificent instrument as the Sterling. The scale is perfect. The tone and brilliance cannot be excelled, and I should consider myself very fortunate could I always have a Sterling Grand on all occasions. I consider the Sterling Grand the finest piano manufactured in this country and I shall endeavor to secure one for my own use. Yours respectfully, Henriette Markstein.
