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 hierbest positions at Messrs. Collard atxd Collakd^s) in the art of covering hammers, making the small work, and finishing and regulating Pianofortes. In the course of a long practice in Turing, &c, he has studied all the makers' vamous mechanisms, :jhere being upwards of thirty/different actions. In order to effect repairs on the most reasonable terms, Mr. Oakey, hasrerected a Workshop, and purchased all the most /recent inventions in Tools, including a Lathe,^Drilling, Boring, and Morticing Machines. B& can, therefore, confidently say thai 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 English prices); Leathers and Cloths for Actions," Dampers, Hoppers, Levers, and, various parts of Pianoforte mechanism; Smith's Patent Piano Wire; Harmonium Reeda ; 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. Oakey /respectfully invites inspection . of his Workshop at any time, feeling confident that he can render a good old Pianoforte almost equal to new, and effect Repairs, &c, cheaper, and infinitely better, than any peripatetic Tuner..
