~ from Boston two of those beautiful eolichords,
or improved eolan pianofores, which, for sweetness
Of tone, power, and variety OF combinations far
pass any instruments heretofore offered for sale in
America or in Europe, where they have been high
y eulogized by Benedict, Horncastle and Thalberg,
the greatest musicians ofhe age. The editor of the
Boston Morning Chronicle says: 'These instru-
ments have great variety of powers. We heard
one of them play the trumpet, and then the bag
pipe, and then the aoian harp and then, by a stop,
it becomes pianoforte, and by another, a simple
seraphine, and by the forte pedal, ful-toned or
gan. For sale at the store Of the subscriber only

the pianoforte journal, containing numerous testi-
monias Of the highest character, may be obtained
