Copy of letter from Alberto Zolman, 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 —I have much pleasure in stating, after having thoroughly tested both, that I can with confidence state they arc 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. “ 1 am. Dear Sir, “ Yours faithfully, “ Alberto Zeeman.” 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 ; Lc drjdome la mtmHou (’xtmordumhY, Amsterdam, 1800 ; La Madallb’d'honiu iu’, Paris, 1807 ; Gold Prize Modal, Loudon, 1802 ; Silver Medal, Netherlands, 1807; and 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 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 as to sustain that which they happily call singing—whilst a plaintive melody is being performed. These Pianos possess, and are famous for 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 get out of order, the iron supports being compensating for extreme climates, and preventing at the same time so great an amount of tuning 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 facts arc confirmed by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These i ianofortes have created cjuite a sensation throughout England and A merica. The liquid quality of tone in the upper octaves, and the clearness and sonority of the lower, cannot bo surpassed. They alto possess this great desideratum, distinct articulation in the most rapid execution. Pianofortes taken in exchange, and the full value allowed.
