HORACE WATERS, Esq, 1873 Broadway, New YORK

pleasure that can speak of them among the most
celebrated and improved makes of the day.

their means-wlli find such one III your beautiful
instruments. THOMAS BAKER

The Editor fthc Savannah Republican, Savannah

j. w. Morrill, & CO. of that city, says:
sit will be seen that their stock comprises n3tru
ments of every grade of excellence, from the well
known manufacturing establishments of Chickerng
Il Son, Horace Waters, III. Worcester, NUNS &
Clark, and Bacon & Raven. 1t might be well sup
posed that in 40 large collection there would be some
very fine instruments. But there is one which, for
beauty of finish and richness and brilliancy of tone
equals, if it does not excel anything of the kind we
have ever seen. 1t is from the establishment of Ho-
race Waters Being constructed of the best and most
thoroughly seasoned material, and upon improved
principles, it is capable of resisting the action of
cry climate, and of standing long time i'll tune The
keys of pearl and the for the finger board
is nad with mosaic, while the legs are most clabor
atcly carved, and the whole instrument finished up
in style of great excellence and beauty. And yet
its chief merit lies i'll the power, brancy and rich
ness of its tone, and the elasticity of its touch"
"a THOUSAND DOLLAR PIANo.'-We paid a visit
the other day to the music store of Mr. Horace Wa
tiers, 1913 Broadway, purpose to see specimen of
his pianos, just manufactured at his uptown estab-
mcnt, of which we have heard great deal of boast
ing. II may not be generally known that Mr. Wa
tiers has been established in this city but little while
having set up in small way some six years ago
agent for Boston firm, and gone on by dint of
industry and enterprise till he has become ono of the
most prominent music publishers and dealers in the
country. His musical Instruments well known
for their superior qualities though they scarcely sur
pass richness volume of tone and decacy of touch
some instruments of more obscure makers which we
have yet, even in these prime respects Waters
best Pianos and Melodeons challenge comparison
with the finest made anywhere III the country-tho'
those of Chickering Gilbert and others are more fu

ATHING OF BEAUTY.-We had the pleasure a dav
or two since, of inspecting magnificent American
piano, at the spacious ware-roOms of Horace Waters,
whose reputation is established all the country
one 1.-THE most successful and extensive dealers,
and of the best makers of the piano this side OF
the Atlantic. The instrument in question was one of
his own manufacture; seven octave, carved rose
wood case, inlaid with various colorcd mother-of-
pearl with keys of the same material and altogether
shining and sounding as we might fancy of some
sky lark ing seraph in piano form. more exquisite
piece of Workmanship we do not remember to have
scen and the elegance of its exterior was the lea
its merit: In tone, IT was caaai 10 a graudaction
and we dGuot II Erard, or any other European eele
brity, could produce a more superb voiced instru
ment. Mr., Waters has experimental in strinoino his
planosszintroauclng decided mprovement-until
he seems to have struck the fountain deptbs of sond
from the most DELICATE to the most son0rous tones
This particular piano was valued at 81 900 but we
examined and listened to several at prices ranginy
down to quarter that sum, all equal in Tone in all
the instruments of his own manufacture Mr. Waters
uses the same superior !iInovementsp so that while
the rch can have their music in aluxurious case the
poorer can have just as good music in case suited
