PIANOFORTES! Copy of letter from Alberto Zelman, Esq., Conductor and Pianist of Lyster and Cagli’s Royal Italian Opera Company “ Mr Lewis Solomon. “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 Brinsmoad and Son—l have much pleasure in stating, after having thoroughly tested both, that I can with confidence state they are the best upright Piauos 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.” Collard’s, Kirkman’s, and Erard’s magnificent Check Actions, require no comment, and 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, Italy, America, and the Netherlands. Awarded the following Medals Gold Medal, Paris, 1870 ; Le deploma la mention extraordinaire, Amsterdam, 1869; La Medaille d’honnenr, 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 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 are confirmed by Messrs Benedict, Sydney Smith, and Brinley Richards. These Pianofortes have created quite a sensation throughout England and America. The liquid quality of tone in the upper octaves, and the clearness 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.
