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, and must congratulate you on the introduction of so brilliant a class of instruments into New Zealand. “ I am, Dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, “ Alberto Zelman.” r EWIS SOLOMON, Importer, has the Li largest and best selection of Pianoirtes in the Colony, including Erard’s atent Double Check Action, CollardV, fiikman’s, and Broad wood’s; but the beatest Novelty of the Age is OHN BRINSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTES.

These Pianos have a world-wide reputaon, the extraordinary power of the smallest istruments being equal to those cumersome and coffin-likc Grands ; the touch i 0 f 80 sensitive a nature that perfection is [most realised ; a repetition of the note can e obtained when the key is pressed down ) one-eighth of an inch of its utmost limit, roducing a purer, more sustained, and iwing to there being no tremulous recoil of ic hammer) greater power and volume—in ict of such a power as to sustain that Inch they happily call singing—whilst a laintive melody is being performed. These Pianos possess, and are famous for le following essentials, viz. : Touch beautiilly light and elastic, Repetition instanineous, prevention of the hammer reoundmg and striking the string a second me, and yet always ready to strike again ! letallic tubes put where most needed, mdcring it impossible for the instrument to et out of order, the iron supports being jmpeusating for extreme climates, and preenting at the same time so great an amount ? tuning necessary to ordinary instruments, one most delightfully sweet and firm, rilliant and extremely powerful the nallest Piano having the power of an rdinary Grand—and the greatest recomicndatiou is, the wonderful manner in hich this action causes the instruments to ecp in order and wear.
