The demands now made by an educated musical public are so exacting that very few Piano-Forte Manufacturers can produce Instruments that will stand the test which merit requires. SOHMER & CO., as Manufacturers, rank amongst these chosen few, who are acknowledged to be makers of standard Instruments. In these days, when 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 the quality of its tone, its touch, and its workmanship; if any one 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 which has given the “SOHMER” its honorable position with the trade and the public.
