Among the Steinways shown this year was its new $885 model, designed to do for the company what the medium-priced Packard 120 has done for Packard motor. Last week in Chicago, Steinway's ace front man, baldish Roman de Majewski, suavely entertained buyers with the champagne that Steinway always serves.
