Your new square pianos, sir, are OF such clear
ness and equality of tone throughout, that they
very successfully compete with the volaminous

The editor of the Savannah Republican, Sa-
vanpah Ga, speaking o! the piano fortes kept
by Messrs. j. w Morreli s. Co, Of That city,
says:

night well be supposed, that IN SO large col
! lection there would be some~ very fine instra
ments But there is one which, for beauty of
finish and richness and brilliancy Of tone equals
/ if it aoes not excel, anything OF the kind we
/ have ever seen. 1t is from the establishment Of
! Horace Waters. Being constructed OF the best
and most thoroughly seasoned material, aud
upon improved principles, it is capable of reslst-
/ ing the action Of every climate, and Of standing
a long time in tune. The keys ara of pearl,
and the recess for the finger board is inlaid with
pearl, while the legs are most elaborately carv'
ed and the whole instrument finished up in
style OF great excellence aud beauty. And yet
its chief merit lies in the power, brilllancy and
richness OF its tone, and the elasticity Of lis
touch.
