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 Zelmah.” Collard’s, Kirkman’s, and Erard’s magnificent Check Actions, require no comment, and the-greatest a,oyelty ; of theageis JOHN BRINSMEAD’S UPRIGHT IRON GRAND PIANOFORTES.

Tone most delightfully sweet, ai|d firm, bril-: liant and extremely powerful—the smallest Pjapo haripjg the power of an ordinary Grand—and the! greatest recomlhendatioh 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 Rrinlej Richards. These Pianofortes baye created quite a sehaation throughout ! England . and America.
