Mr. Oaket, Inventor of, and Performer on, the " Orchestrina," begs to state that, in London, he underwent a thorough training with his father (who held one of the highest positions at Messrs.

In the course of a long practice in Tuning, &c, he has studied all the makers' various mechanisms, there being upwards of thirty different actions. In order to effect repairs on the most reasonable terms, Mr. Oaket, has erected a Workshop, and purchased all the most recent inventions in Tools, including a Lathe, Drilling, Boring, and Morticing Machines.
