"The Home Paper With the Ndws"
way off the 36,000 pianos sold in
1918 and the record first Great
postwar period of 1919, when
27,745 units valued at $6,834,527
were sold, However, sales for
1948 are creeping up and expect-
ed to reach or exceed anywhere
between 5,000 to 6,000—a record
since rebirth—and volume rest-
ricted only through inability to
speed up production.
Piano manufacturers tell The
Post that a great deal of piano
popularity has stemmed through
radio; through newspaper adver-
tising, throught the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition music - day,
through inclusion of music in
school curriculum, through. festi-
vals and - pageants; and pestle-
•
weight aluminum plates. How-
ever, it appears that this innova-
tion may be some time off, due
to necessity of importing the
plates, at present toocostly for
present priced. pianos. A sharper,
clearer tone is expected to result
when this new type of construc-
tion is included in the ,modern
day piano. Also, use of aluminum
will reduce weight considerably.
Manufacturers have adopted
numerous measures so far in ef-
fort to overcome handicap through
loss of skilled workers during
depressed period of the thirties.
A group of returned veterans
were trained at the Rehabilita-
tion School in Toronto; a num-
ber of skilled workers have been
brought out from England; and
teenagers are now being coached
in various plants by senior crafts-
men. Ileintzman & Co., oldest
Canadian manufacturer, is now

the family at the factory.
