Haddorff mystery

[Don]

Hi All,


        The career of the Haddorff pianos is by many in the art world
regarded as phenomenal. These famous instruments encompass every form and
attainment, including the Artistic Grands, Reproducing Pianos, Grand
Reproducing Players, Player-pianos and uprights every phase of high grade
piano manufacture, and the name of Haddorif is always the symbol of musical
attainment. The attainment of power in a piano's name is a matter of such
complexity of elements that to describe the way to that result in words is
almost impossible. Haddorff pianos have so long stood as representatives of
fine achievement in pianos that to refer to the evenness of tone, the
responsiveness of action, and the charm of expression possible to the
performer, would be to repeat that with which the piano world is already
familiar. Haddorff pianos are recognized as models of piano artistry. They
are instruments whose workings out have been, as is always the case with
ambitious instruments, gradual and progressive through the years. The
Haddorff scale is so finely shaded, and its tonal results so graduated,
that there is no ear so acute as to detect where the dividing lines occur.
And that is one of the triumphs of the scale draftsman work. It is the work
of a master acoustician whose entire life has been devoted to piano
development and the finest attainment of inborn skill and experience has
found a culmination in the instruments that bear his name. Mr. C. A.
Haddorff designed and created the first Haddorff piano.


        The Haddorff sounding board is scientifically constructed with a
view to obtaining the greatest resonance without in the least interfering
with the clarity of tone and quality of tone power. Haddorff pianos are the
results of the best material so carefully treated and adjusted and so
finely finished in external and internal details that there is only reason
for approval by the most critical. And this applies also to durability,
giving to these instruments everything that the discriminating piano lover
must demand, and insuring for the instrument itself the progressive career
to which it was originally dedicated. The Haddorff player- piano is in
every way the same creation as the Haddorff piano, equipped with the
pneumatic action by which the utmost refinement of expression is easily
possible. All of the effects possible to human interpretation are
attainable with an accuracy absolutely dependable. The Haddorff Reproducing
Piano is electrically controlled and is representative of the latest
advance in this marvelous instrument by which the performances of the
greatest pianist may be reproduced with fidelity to the most delicate tonal
results of accent, tonal control and technique. Haddorif pianos have
attained' an immovable place in the world of art, and they are everywhere
recognized for the influence they exert in musical life and in the business
attainments of their representatives.
