RICHMOND, VA,
DEALERS IN
PIANO-FORTES.
BOOKS AND STATIONARY,

HAVE on hand, and continue to receive from
II. Worcester, supplies of his celebrated
French Grand Action Pianos; they are from six
to seven octaves, in Rosewood and Mahogany ca
ses, and OF the latest styles of finish.
| Mr.. Worcester's Pianos will be found to combine
every requisite, not only desirable but absolutely
necessary to the perfection Of Pano-the great
size and strength OF the timbers, in the frames
surprising, and cuIiously arranged, to resist
the tension Of the strings-and his skill and supe-
rior workmanship in this particular, and the sea
soned wood which he uses, renders them not only
durable, but capable Of any service to which they
may be subjected, and retain good tone to the
last. He excels, too, in producing clear and ar
ticulate, yet sweet tOne-and all his instruments
have singularly perfect touch. The delicacy of
the machinery may be imagined, when through it
may be expressed every shade Of feeling, and
sounds brought forth, which are often more deli
cate than song.
10 those In want OF superior Instrument, we
beg to say, examine them before purchasing
o. Orders from the country will receive prompt
attention. and be executed to the entire satisfaction
OF the purchaser, both as 10 price and quality.
eS- written guarantee will accompany each In
srument sold; and should they not prove to be- af-
ter the most rigid examination, of acknow lodged
superiority, the purchase money will be refunded
Pianos tuned and repaired in the best manner
by an experienced workman.
We beg to refer to the following testimonials
PIANO-FORTES.
We gladly take the opportunity of the present
great concourse of strangers in our city, to speak of
the Piano Fortes of Mr.. Worcester. Having occa-
sion to purchase an instrument, we consulted n
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-
nateiy, 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 they
will not be disappointed if they try Mr. Worces-
ter's Pianos. The which yielded ST. $50, at
Stewards, for the Irish, was Of his manufacture
NJ Y. Christian Inquirer.
"The reputation of Mr.. Worccster's Pianos is
such that it is almost unnecessary now to offer any
commendatory remarks 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 &C.
taves.. Those in want of really good Instruments,
which they may purchase with perfect confidence,
should by all means examine those of his manufac-
ture. "-.N Y Mirror.
