"EVERY MAN TO HIS TRADE"
TRUST TO EXPERTS
The average person can only judge a f piano by appearances. You might think a certain instrument a great bargain and say blithely, "Itjust needs tuning," but if it has a strained plank or a cracked frame it will always oieed tuning, and no'tuner will be able to make it really satisfactory for long.
There are various other faults that are difficult to detect. ,A nice looking piano may have borer in hidden places; or the action may be worn or out-of-date; or, a sunken sound board may make it impossible to get good tone from the instrument. Repairs will certainly be costly and may take months, because with depleted staffs and shortage of materials, music houses have their piano technicians fully occupied and are often unable to undertake outside repairs. Piano buyers will be well advised to purchase, through recognised piano dealers. Charles Begg and Co.* Ltd., are piano experts of 82 years' experience. ' They' areknown all over/New Zealand and their reputation for fair dealing offers,: protection to both sellers and buyers of used pianos. Begg's pay best cash prices for pianos of all makes and invite owners to make them an offer or to ask for Begg's valuation.—P.B.A.
