A GREAT AMERICAN TRIUMPH The Highest Endorsement Ever Extended an American Manufacturer S Steinway Sons Receive the apppointment of Piano Manufacturers Ii Manufac-turers to Her Majesty the Queen of England and the Royal Family j I I A cabled statement from London brings tbe I I Information that by Royal Warrant Messrs I Steinway Sons have received the appointment I I of Piano Manufacturers to Her Majesty the Queen of England and tho Royal Family This I I I I royal distinction conferred upon an American I S manufacturer again confirms tho position of Steinway < st Sans as the leading house of the i piano manufacturing industry la the world a verdict fully Indorsed 1 by the American public S This offlclnl recoiTiiiiton by the head of tho great British Empire of the status of the Stien S way piano must ho most gratifying to that house and will i certnlnynive a great effect in I Great Britain and the British Provinces I whoro i I the feeling of reverence for the throne and of I respect for itfl opinions K of course so much I greater than It is here In fact the average American brought up under such tiinprcut in I nfiences can scarcely comprehend this feeling of loyalty This royal distinction Is the more surprising because His conferred upon an American manufacturing man-ufacturing firm which has only business affiliations affilia-tions with Great Britain The Steinway as founders of the housewero Gei man by birth intent naturally look for some sucU honor from the head of the German Empire Em-pire but emanating from British royalty it must havo been to them a doubly delightful surprise But why was It conferred For the very good reason that the royal family of Great Bntala prefer the Steinway piano to any other It Is not likely that there was any sentiment In the matter But as for many years past this exalted ex-alted family havo been patrons ot Steinway Sons 1 it is but natural that they at last should conclude that a reef g iltlon of the merits of tho instruments which Lve given them such pleasure plea-sure should ba In order The Queen tho Prince and Princess of Wales Princess Beatrice and Duchess of Fife have all at various tmes bought grand and upright pianos of the Steinway I Ullf nan tl naoss M BS i gUf way make Ruing a musical as well as a rm at family they 1 ave expressed their appreciation of their favorite Instrument In fact this family might have attained distinction dis-tinction la musical art had they not been placed by accident of birth ixbo > o tho necessity of so doing The late Prince Consort was a man of excellent musical taste and a composer of such merit that somo of his chorales arc recognized masterpieces in ther line still retaining vitality 1 enough to be in frequent use The Queen la her earlier days was a fair vocalist and skillful at the piano The great basso Lablache washer was-her deal teacher and found in her an apt and amiable pupil Mrs Anderson since deceased taught her the piano At that time tho Influence Influ-ence of Mendelssohn was in the ascendant la England and tho then youthful Queen was a great admirer of his music with which sho is said to be more familiar than any professional musicians of today can claim to be Her taste was directed Iu relined musical channels and i her judgment In matters connected wlththe art I is conceded to be excellent I I All the Queens daughters Inherited musicalS musical-S taste and of her sons the second the Duke of i Edlnburg application enoueh to learn the violin sufficiently to play in orchestral works and even to attack quite difficult solos The Princess of Wales is said to bo a fair pianist having studied with care while a girl in Denmark Den-mark Her mother Denmarks present Queen has been an enthnslalst in the an and is a superior su-perior player S The other reigning families of Europe with scarcely an exception are familiar with tbo Steinway piano and give It the preference above all others These facts are stated not becauso It is astonishing as-tonishing that ladles of high rank with every possible advantage in their fuvor should proio 1 to be fair parlor musicians but because thekt judgment in regard to tho instruments
