Hamlets Soliloquy on the Krell Piano. To play, or not to play, that is the question; whether ‘tis nobler like an ass to suffer the thousand tortures of a bad piano, or to take means to counteract these troubles, and by the purchase of a Krell piano let music reign supreme and oust vile discord. It is a consummation to be hoped for; the earache and the countless awful shocks that nerves are heir to would be thus avoided. Why should we therefore search in aimless blind. The undiscovered maker from whose clutch [ness no purchaser returns, unless well swindled, buying with fatuous joy some stencil fraud, some rattletrap concern, whose gaudy frame is hollow, save that it perchance contain the semblance only of the strings it should. These, sickled o'er with the pale cast of naught which lose the name of action – soft you now – the fair Ophelia: - Nymph in thy Orisons, devoutly pray, that when surcease of care shall let those dainty fingers gently stray, with magic touch o'er the responding keys, a "Krell" piano may be there to waft thy music to the listening spheres.
