PIANOFORTES I PIANOFORTES J Copy of letter from Alberto Zelman, Esq., Conductor and Pianist of Lyster and CagliH 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 tbe Colony, and must congratulate you on the introduction of so brilliant a class of . instruments into New Zealand. “ I am, Dear Sir,' “ Yours faithfully, " “AlbertoZelman.” . LEWIS SOLOMON, Importer, bias the largest and best selection of Pianofortes in the Colony, including Erard’s Patent Double Check Action, Collard’?, Kirkman’s, and Broad wood’s; but the Greatest Novelty of the Age is JOHN BRINSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTES. ,

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,- 1 Italy, America, and the Netherlands. Awarded the following Medals Gold Medal, Paris, 1870 ; Le deplome la mention extraordinaire, Amsterdam, 1869 ; La Medaille d'honneur , Paris, 1867 ; Gold) Prize Medal, London, 1862 ; Silver Medal, Netherlands, 1867 ; 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 hey is pressed down to one-eighth of an inch of its utmost limit, .producing a purer, more unstained, and (owing to there being no tremulous recoil of the hammer) greater power and volume—infact, of such a power as to sixain 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 arid 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; cempehsating 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 are confirmed by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These Pianofortes have created quite a sensation through out England and A merica. The liquid quality of tone in the tipper octaves, and the clear ness and sonority of the lower* cannot be surpassed. They also possess this great desideratum, distinct articulation in the most rapid execution. Pianofortes-taken in exchange, and the full value allowed.
