Awarded the following Medals : Gold Medal, Paris, 1870 ;hedr pi 0 /»'• I" 'mvniion cxtruordnuurr, Amsterdam, 1880; Ln Mnhnlk tVJnmnrur, Paris, 1807 ; Gold Prize Medal, London, 1802 ; Silver Medal, Netherlands, 186/ ; and secured the highest chus Medal at the late Great Exhibition, Louden. These Pianos have a world-wide reputation, the extraordinary power of the smallest instruments being equal to those cumbersome and Coffin-like Grands ; the touch is of so sensitive a nature, that perfection is almost realised; a repetition of the note can be obtained when the key is pressed down to one-eighth of an inch of its utmost limit, producing a purer, more sustained, and (owing to there being no tremulous recoil of the hammer) greater power and volume —in fact, of such a power to sustain that which they happily call singing —whilst a plaintive melody is being performed. These Pianos pessess, and are famous tor the following essentials, viz, : Touch beautifully light and elastic, Repetition instantaneous, prevention of the hammer rebounding and striking the string a second time, and yet always ready to strike again • Metallic tubes put where most needed, rendering it impossible for the instrument to neb out of order, the iron supports being Compensating for extrema climates, and preventing at the same time so great an amount of tuninc necessary to ordinary instruments. Tone most delightfully sweet and firm, brilliant and extremely powerful the smallest Piano having the power of an ordinary Grand —and the greatest recommendation is, the wonderful manner in which this action causes the instruments to keep in order and wear. All these facta are confirmed bv Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and tirinley Richards. These Pianofortes have created quite a sensation throughout England and America. The liquid quality of tone in the upper octaves, and the clearness and sonority of the lower cannot be surpassed. They also possess this great desideratum distinct articulation in the most rapid execution. The above Pianos, ex E. P. Bouvene and May Queen are aow landed. Also, a shipment of 10 ERARD’B magnificent new design Pianofortes, the quality of which is too well known to require comment.
