MR. ENRICO CARUSO The world- famous tenor, made his debut in New York this season on Monday, November 16th, in Aida. The fact that upon his arrival, some two weeks since, Mr. Caruso selected the HARDMAN PIANO for his personal use adds another convincing proof of its musical superiority and of the preference given it by the greatest artists. - On the concert stage this preference cannot always be shown as the pianos used are almost invariably furnished by the managers. In their homes, however, artists are free to use the instruments of their own choice -those which most satisfactorily aid them in their studies and please them in their tone. lime. Caruso, like all other great artists, is always seeking the very latest and best products in the musical world and it is, therefore, of great interest to intending purchasers of pianos to know that Mr. Caruso uses the Hardman Piano exclusively.
