TUNING. Pianofortes, Organs, and Harmoniums Tuned, not by the old Stanhope method, but on the principle of Equal Temperament (as adopted by Erard, Broadwood, and Collard), the. intervals being divided according to the number oi vibrations, as indicated by_ the Sirene, and the apparatus of M. Savart. ■J_____K MECHANICAL. 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 ot the highest positions at Messrs. Collard, and Collard's) in the art of covering hammers, making tbe small work, and finishing and regulating Pianofortes. In the course of a long practice in Tuning, &c, he has studied all the makers' various mechanisms, jhere 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 MorticiDg Machines. He can, therefore, confidently, say. that he now possesses by far the largest set of Musical Tools, and Pianofortemaking Machinery in New Zealand. In addition, he. has in stock varieties--, of Felt for hammer covering (this he can effect at EDgliah prices); "Leathers and . Cloths, .for , Actions, Dampers, j Hopipers, Levers, and various parts of Pianoforte i mechanism; Smith's Patent Piano Wire; Har- | monium Reeds ; ; and all the requisites for the ' repairs of Organs, Harmoniums, Concertinas, ' Flutinas, Organ Accordions; also for Euterpeons, ; and every kind of self-acting instrument. Mr. Oaket. respectfully invites inspection of his Workshop, at .any time, feeling confident that 1 he can render a good old Pianoforte almost equal ; to hew, and effect Repairs, &c, cheaper, and in- ; finitely better, than an^ peripatetic Tuner. y ALFRED^ OAKET. ___&15<_jb-street, four doors from M'Gee's Hotel. 1619 -. ■ | T^ELg6N TpHO^p^BAPHIC TJOOMS : HAipT STREET, X yDH. ..
