MANUFACTURERS.
10. 9, Eutaw Street, Baltimore.

lT is believed that no Factory has received more
u extensive patronage from Professors of Music
and Amateurs. Specimens Of their Instruments
may be seen by this community at Capt. Harper's,
Col. VIM. A. Bells, and at the .4ugusta Female
Seminary, to all of whom we permitted 10 refer.
A guarantee given In all cases TO the purchaser,
that his instrument shall be satisfactory. Prices
from $3.50 to S4O0.
The following notice of these Pianos appeared in
the Baltimore Patriot a short time since
In the warerooms Of Messrs. KNABE & GAEHLE,
No. ,, Eutaw street, arc now several elegant, Sc
ven octave, rose wood Pianos, of Gothic style,
which have attracted much attention, and been
praised in the highest terms by professors and anna
teurs who have tried them. They are in all res
poets very fine instruments. The case is massive
and strong, the wood beautifully grained and most
tasefllly carved. The tone is rich, deep and pure,
and is what is technically called a warm, sunny
tone-the touch easy, and the mechanism com
plete. 1t Is gratifying to know that such Dstru-
ments are made in this city, and it is
gratifying to know that they appreciated, is
evinced by the constant demand for them. Indeed,
we surprised to find that there was such an
extensive and complete mandatory Of Pianos "a
mong US, which has been steadily increasing from
its first establishment till it is now one Of the iarg-
est In the country, and keeps constantly employed,
In lis various departments, very large number of
workmen. Those who are regarded as judges say
there is no Piano made any where, which, in it's
precedence Of these, and that the present high IA
vor with which they regarded, will extend and
increase itself. as they become better known.
