STARR PIANO IS OIIE OF LEADING PLANTS IH U. S.

Richmond People Have Very Faint Knowledge of the Magnitude of the Great Instrument Concern.

MANUFACTURES ALL OF THE MANY PARTS USED

Big Plant Turns Out Thirtyfive Pianos Every Day, All Of Which Are Made of Seasoned Timber. vFew people have any idea of the piano business. Most people think that every piano they see is a product made by a different piano manufacturer. There is a vast difference between a piano manufacturer and a piano assembler.. Two-thirds of the pianos in the United States are merely the product of the assembler. The assembler begins work with little capital practically his most essential article of production is his stencil. He gets the various parts which go to make up his piano his case, his sounding board, his action, from various maulfacturers of these articles, all over the. country. Usually he begins in a little back room and turns out pianos, as" there is a demand for them. Such a piano is in marked contrast to the article produced by the real piano manufacturer. The manufacturer makes his piano from start to finish. He knows exactly what goes Into his piano, he gives time for the parts to season thoroughly, and each part is designed especially with reference to

the others. Hence his is a fax different product from that of the "sten-

ciier." It Ranks High.

The Starr Piano Company, which is

not only one of the main industries of

Richmond, but one of the principal piano factories of the United States, Is

one in which all the parts are really manufactured throughout their whole course of construction. "One of the Interesting things about our work, and one which is responsible for the , high grade of pianos we turn out." said Mr. Curtis, of the local sales department of the Starr Piano Company, "is the fact that all our, timber is seasoned in a particular manner so that it will keep free from warping and other action by the weather. We season every part of our piano, after the parts are made, for a long period considerably, over a year. The parts

are numbered and dated as they, are put Into the seasoning department,

and each day brings its output of sea

soned timber ready for use. The fact that the factory turns out thirty-five pinanos each day shows not only the

magnitude of the business, but the

care that must be exercised In seasoning and having a system to keep track of it. Safeguard Their Quality.

"The very fact that we turn out so

many pianos, is in. itself a safeguard of their quality. People often ask. us, when we explain -our seasoning process to them why we lay so much stress on that. After we have explained our process and they see the logic of our arguments, .they ask If other manufacturers do not do the same thing. To

this we reply that unless the other manufacturers are in our class they do not. The reason is that the small manufacturer can not afford to have his money tied up in the seasoning process. He must be getting his money out of his investment -right along or go to the wall. The financial backing of our company, like -that of all large manufacturers is such that we can afford to let our pianos be thoroughly seasoned. "The reason for seasoning is not alone in the case as many people think. That is of comparatively minor importance in relation to the interior of the piano. The most vital point of a piano is in the pins on which the wires are strung. Action of the Pins. "If these pins are constantly changing position with climatic actionthere is your piano out of tune. We obviate this difficulty by imbedding the pins on which the wires are strung in a bed of veneer. Nor is the veneer run in one way or two ways the veneer runs In layers of various thicknesses in different directions, so as to make It absolutely firm. In this way the piano only gets out of tune after long usage. These are things that the large manufacturer can do and must do, to give his piano prestige. It is a thing that the stencilers and the small manufacturers cannot possibly do. Therefore Richmond should take particular interest in the fact that the Starr piano company is a real manufacturer and is ranking among the piano builders who are interested primarily in turning out instruments which are of a quality which can be used for artistic purposes.

Perhaps the ..most important musical events for the past week were the series of recitals given by the pupils of Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier at her

home on South Twenty-first street. The 1

first affair was held Thursday afternoon and the second on Friday afternoon. i j Miss Anna Ross, assisted by her piano pupils, gave her fourth recital Wednesday evening at eight o'clock in the Starr Piano Parlors. The affair was rather formal, only the parents of the suidents, with a few friends, being in attendance. . Several persons from this city attended the Indiana State Music convention at Lafayette this week. j js Special music will be rendered today by the choir of the First Methodist church under the direction of Mrs. Grace Gormon. )t Mrs. Henry Potter will sing Millard's "Nearer My God to Thee", this evening at Sti Paul's Episcopal church. JH J Jl A patriotic program will be given this evening at the First Christian

church by the Christian Endeavor Society. Jt jt jl Miss Bertha Taylor is expecting to attend the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music in the fall.
