MAGNIFICENT INSTRUMENTS AT A MODERATE PRICE. LIST PRICES
THE SCALE, the fundament of tone, embraces many features original with the “MELOTON,” and is designed to produce
the utmost volume. The three-stringed unison throughout middle and treble registers, with the greatest possible length of
string, is the medium through which this result is obtained. The “MELOTON” scale, emulated by pianomakers universally, is
conceded to be the scaie par excellence.
THE SOUNDING BOARD, the urate construction of which is of such vital importance, is a significant feature in the
“MELOTON” Piano, and is the result of years of practical research. It is of unusually large dimensions, made of the choicest
balsam-fir—the most resonant of woods—and imparts a “color” and intensity to the tone quite foreign to pianos of the ordi-
nary type
THE FRAME. To resist the tremendous strain of the scale, the iron frame of the “MELOTON” Piano is specially designed
—full-flanged, reinforced and (were it necessary) capable of withstanding double the pressure to which it is subjected. The
wooden frame, the foundation of the piano, so to speak, and the very backbone of the instrument, is made of the best well
seasoned woods, and like the iron frame, is of an improved extra massive pattern of more than ordinary strength
