| TEXT | The manufacture of pianos is one of the great industries of the United States, one of the leading representative firms in this line being that of Messrs. Mathushek & Kinkeldey, No. 210 East 129th Street. Mr. V. H. Mathushek, the founder of the house of Mathushek & Kinkeldey, is a grandson of the celebrated inventor, Mr. F. Mathushek, and has been exceedingly fortunate in obtaining a thorough training as a piano-maker from his grandfather. Not desiring to learn the theoretical art alone, Mr. Mathushek entered a large manufacturing establishment of renown to acquire by manual labor and among strangers the practical art of piano-making. Mr. Charles Kinkeldey is also a practical piano-maker, having obtained his knowledge from first-class manufacturers in Europe. Since his arrival in this country in 1866 he has been in the service of nearly all the leading manufacturers throughout this country, occupying the responsible position as final examiner of pianos before leaving the factory. Prior to his partnership with Mr. H. Mathushek he held the prominent position of superintendent at Messrs. Dunham & Sons' establishment. This firm was established in 1882, and from the well known character and ability of the partners is rapidly assuming a leading position in the trade, in consequence of the sweetness and brilliancy of tone of their instruments. Their pianos are made in the best manner possible from well-seasoned materials, in the latest and most fashionable styles, and are always warranted and sold at prices much less than inferior articles which are extensively advertised over the country. Their elegant productions are forwarded to almost every portion of the civilized world. The names of Mathushek & Kinkeldey are already household words and guarantees of unsurpassed excellence and superiority. The firm have a patent which relieves the sounding-board of all strain, and produces a longer vibration, making it more of the nature of an organ. This is the genuine Mathushek piano, and this house has no connection with any other firm or company. Their warerooms are located at No. 216 East 128th Street. |
