The piano was invented in Ttaly some 400 years ago and was then a very crude affair, not at all like—either in tone, touch or appearance—the beautiful instruments with which we are now familiar. It is difficult to say where the best pianos are made; indeed, there 's not much to choose between the productions of the best German or English manufacturers. The selection of a piano is pretty much a question of individual taste and requirement. There are, so many makers, so many prices and qualities, which a purchaser must consider, tbat it is always advisable to consult* reliable firm o£ specialists, preferably a firm with a good reputation, a thorough knowledge of the business, and a large stock to select from. Purchase your piano from the Dresden Piano Company, Ltd. They are to be depended upon in all these respects. Time payments from 20s monthly. Local representative: T.
