Sec, 7) I A N 0 S~ Neumeyer Patent Quadruplex are the only four times over-strung Pianos, solid iron frame, check action, trichord. The best Pianos in tlie world — a perfect marvel j in mechanical skill. If you want a Piano to last a lifetime, secure a Neumeyer. Hesitate before purchasing boxes of wires, on the time- payment system, that will not realise one half of their cost before they are paid for. Mr B. Ling, Otaki, writes: — "I am thoroughly well pleabed with tho Nennieyer Piano. I strongly recommend it to country people, as I find it requires little tuning." W. H.
