PIANOFORTES! PIANOFORTES! PIANOFORTES! Copy of letter from Alberto Zelman, Esq., Conductor and Pianist of Lyster and Cagli’s Royal Opera Company : “ Mr Lewis Solomon, George street, “Dear Sir, —Having been requested while at Christchurch to examine the two Pianos sent by you to the Exhibition—one by S. and I-*. Krard, and tVie otter ty .Totn Brinstneacl and Son—l have much pleasure in stating, after having thoroughly tested both, that I can with confidence state they are the best upright Pianos I have seen in the Colony, and must congratulate you on the introduction of so brilliant a class of instruments into New Zealand. “ I am, Dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, “ Albeiox) Zeeman.” LEWIS SOLOMON, Importer, has the largest and best selection of Pianofortes in the Colony, including Ej'-'V'd’s patent Double Check Action, CollardV, Kirkman’s, and Broad wood's • but the Greatest Novelty or thk Age is JOHN BRLNSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTE'!. John Brinsmead and Son’s Patent Perfect Check Repeater Action, Patent Arm Escapement and Iron Tubular-supported Cottage Pianofortes. Patented, 1871, in England, France, Austria, Prussia, Belgium, Italy, America, and the Netherlands. Awarded the following Medals :—Gold Medal, Paris, 1870 ; Le deplome la mention extraordinaire, Amsterdam, 1869 ; La Medallle d'honntur, Paris, 1867 ; Gold Prize Medal, London, 1862 ; Silver Medal, Netherlands, 1867; and secured the highest class Medal at the late Great Exhibition, Loudon. These Pianos have a world-wide reputation, the extraordinary power of the instruments being equal to t)p,QSO cumbersome and coffin-like G rat >da • the touch is of so sensifi\ r 9 a nature that perfection is almost Realised ; a repetition of the note can I 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 vopune—in fact, of such a power as to, sustain that whicli they happily call figging—whilst a plaintive melody is being performed. These Piaiiqs possess, and are famous for the following essentials, viz. Touch beauti- ■ fully light and elastic, Repetition instantaneous. prevention of the hammer re-. ■ bounding and striking the string a second time, and yet always ready to strike again ! Metallic tubes put w\\eve most needed, rendering it impossible for the instrument to get out oi order, the iron supports being compensating for extreme climates, and pre- • venting at the same time so great an amount of tuning necessary to ordinary instruments. Tone most delightfully sweet asd firm, brilliant and extremely powerful the I smallest Piano having the power of an ordinary Grand—and the greatest reoom- | mendatiou is, the wonderful manner in which this action causes the instruments to keep in order and wear. All these facts are confirmed by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These i ianofortes have created quite a sensation throughout England and A mcriea. The liquid quality of tone in the upper octaves, and the clearness and sonority of 1 lie lower, cannot be surpassed. They ah o possess this grea,t desideratum, distinct artiyn^B ol , l .
