work is held to a minimum. In the case shop, elaborate sanding machines, as
well as a staff of hand sanders, guarantee smooth rich finish.

result of the large demand for its pianos, has attracted the best and most
experienced craftsmen. Every operation in the factory is passed upon by an
inspector before moving on to the next department. Finally, each instrument

protect the high standards of Winter pianos. The recognition given by the
