Of examining its interior arrangements, andcan,
therefore, conscientiously giveiithe assurance,
that In all that imparts despatch efficiency and
power, combined with beauty in design and exc
cuiion, the factory of these genllemcn is unex-
celled by any other in the United Estates.
The instruments made by Messrs. Knabe e.
G8hle, are builtwi the most cbbsummate care,
taste and judgment their iinish is exquisite
their tone at once full, clear and brilliant In a
word, it is but justice to these gentlemen when |
say-that, while by their Senius and acquire
ments, they are competent+thSr industry, zeal
and ambition, are such as to ensure to the elabo-
rations of their skin a degreei of mechanical
nicely, as honorable TO theta aslworkmen, as il
must be gratifying to the amateIr and artist. i
The GRAND PIANO, which Messrs X. & G.
had the politeness to furnish ne for my recent
Concert, was of their own manufacture. The
execution of that splendid instrument elected
universal admiration-its superiority was ac-
knowledged by every judge pre3nt and won for
its constructors that applause which discriminate
ing minds never fail 70 award 10 distinguished
merit. GEORGE KN0OP.
