Copy of letter from Alberto Zelman, Esq., Conductor and Pianist of Lyster and Cagli’s Royal Italian 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 P. Erard, and the other by John Brinsmead 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, api must congratulate you on the introduction of so brilliant a class of instruments into ISew Zealand. “ 1 am. Dear Sir, “ Yonvs faithfully, “ Alberto Zelman.” Lewis Solomon, importer, has the largest and best selection of Pianofortes in the Colony, including Erard’s Patent Double Check Action, Collard’?, Kirkman’s, and Broadwood’s; but the Greatest Novelty of the Age is JOHN BRINSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTES. John Brinsmead and Son’s Patent Perfect Cheek 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 deplomo la mention, extraordinaire, Amsterdam, 1860 ; La Meda'dle d’honutnr, Paris, 1867 ; Gold Prize Medal, London, 1862 ; Silver Medal, Netherlands, 1867; ami secured the highest class Medal at the late Great Exhibition, London. These Pianos have a world wide reputation, the extraordinary power of the smallest instruments being equal to those cumbersome and colfiii-likc Grands ; the touch is of so sensitive a nature that perfection is almost realised ; a i ©petition 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 attained, and (owing to there being no U’OVOulous recoil of the hammer) groatey pv.wcr and volume—in fact, of such l-U.Vx’er as to sustain that which they happily call singing—whilst a plaintive lueln.dy is being performed. These Pianos possess, and are famous for the following essentials, viz. : Touch beautifully light and elastic, Repetition, instantaneous, prevention of the hammey yebounding and striking the styßyj a second time, and yet always ready to. strike again ! Metallic tubps put where most needed, rendering it impossible for the instrument to get put of order, the iron supports being compensating for extreme cliipates, and preventing at the same time so great an amount of tuning necessary to ordinary instruments. Tone most delightfully sweet awl firm, brilliant and extremely powerful the smallest Piano having tin? power of an ordinary Grand—and The greatest recommendation tl\e wonderful manner in which this flcttPU causes the instruments to keep in order and wear. All these facta are confirmed by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These l ianofortes have created quite a sensation throughout England and A mcricr., The liquid quality of tone in the upppy cptaYes. : and the clearness and sonority lower, cannot be surpassed. They aho possess this great desideratum, distinct articulation in the most rapid execution. Pianofortes taken in exchange, and the full value allowed.
