PIANO-FORTES.

We gladly take the opportunity of the. present
great concourse of strangers in city, to speak of
the Piano Fories of Mr. Worcester Having occa
sion TO purchase ,an instrument, we consulted a
distinguished professor Of the Piano Forte, and by
his recommendation. applied to Mr.. W., and, we
are happy to say, with entire satisfaction as to
quality and price. There is always certain fash
ion, even about musical instruments; but, fortu
nately, the tone and finish of good Piano Forte
can stand upon their own intrinsic merit, which is
obvious to the general Judgment and we venture
to assure those who about purchasing that thew
will not be disappointed if they try Mr., Worces-
ter's Pianos. The one which yielded 81 $50, at
Stewards, for the Irish, was Of his manufacture.
~ y. Christian Inquirer. ,:
The reputation of Mr. Worcester's Pianos is
such, that it is almost unnecessary now to offer any
commendatory remarks as TO the quality of tone,
elegance OF workmanship, or general excellence
1t Is sufficient for the purpose to state that they
are not eXcelled in any respect. They are in ma
hogany and rosewood cases, from six to seven DC

which they may purchase with perfect confidence.
