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. ” LEWIS SOLOMON, Importer, has the largest and best selection of Piano* brtes in the Colony, including Erard’s Patent Double Check Action, Collard’s, iiikman's, and Broadwood’s; but the jrBEATEST NOVELTY OP THE AGE is fOHN BRINSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTES. John Brinsmead and Son’s Patent Perfect }heck Repeater Action, Patent Arm Escape* nent and Iron Tubular-supported Cottage Pianofortes. Patented, 1871, in England, Prance, Austria, Prussia, Belgium, Italy, America, and the Netherlands.

These Pianos have a world-wide reputaaon, the extraordinary power of the smallest nstruments being equal to those cum* jersome and coffin-like Grands j the - touch s of so sensitive a nature that perfection is ilmost realised ; a repetition of the note can 3e obtained when the key is pressed down ;o one-eighth of an inch of its utmost limit, 3toducing a purer, more sustained, and owing to there being no tremulous recoil of ;he hammer) greater power and volume—in 'act of such a power as to sustain that vhich they happily call singing—whilst a slaintive melody is being performed. These Pianos possess, and are famous for ;he 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 I Metallic tubes put where most needed, rendering it impossible for the instrument to zet out of order, the iron supports being Compensating for extreme climates, and preventing at the same time so great an amount M tuning necessary to ordinary instruments, lone most delightfully sweet and firm, brilliant and extremely powerful —the smallest Piano haring the power of an jrdinary Grand —and the greatest recommendation is, the wonderful manner in which this ac tion causes the instruments to keep in order and wear. All these facts aro 'onnnned by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These t iano* brtes have created quite a sensation throughmt England and A merica. The liquid quality >f tone in the upper octaves, and the clear* less and sonority of the lower, cannot be mrpassed.
