THE WELMAR PIANO
Sir, —It must now be painfully obvious to all that our famous Weimar (called “Weimar” on piano is grand in name only. Surely when a piano was being obtained for concert use the authorities concerned should have exercised just a little more discretion. It would have been better by far for them to have invested in a second-hand model of late pre-war vintage by a reputable piano house. Not only is the tone appaling (as pointed out by "R.G.") but soon we shall have no pianists of international repute visit us when we have nothing better than this monstrosity to offer them.—Yours, etc.. KARL ELMENDORFF. August 31. 1951.
