perlority Is thus noticed by the Richmond Examiner:
"His Grand Piano seems to Include all other instru-
ments-indeed, all other sounds whatever, from the
roar Of contending winds and waters, to tho clear and
delicate notes Of the smallest musical box. BY a repe-
tition OF rapid notes, he produces the sound OF The hute

founded u.s."
The PIANINOS are an exquisite instrument with
power Of tone nearly equal to a Grand Piano, and IL
nished in the most durable manner, with three strings
TO a note. They are 81 ~octaves, and are thus noticed
by the New York Commercial Advertiser:
"The entertainment Of Herr and Sivori, on Tuesday
evening, was delightful to a crowded house. On this
occasion Herr introduced a dainty little instrument,
just received from his factory at Paris, which he calls
a piasino, or miniature piano. Though very small, its
tones have very nearly the fullness and power of q
grand piano, with q richness all their own. The spe.
cial recommendation of the instrument Is its diminitive
size, which makes II conveniently portable, and an ele.
CANT piece of furniture for the drawing room."
