says:
= 1t will be seen that their stock comprises
instruments ofevery grade of excellence, from
the well know manufacturing establishments OF
Chickering & Son, Horace Waters, H Worces-
ter Nunns X CLARK, and Bacon 81 Rayeiie II
might well be supposed that in SO large a col
lection there would be some very fine instrn-
ments But there il one which, for beauty Of
finish and richness and briliancy of tone, equals
if it Goes not excel, anything Of the kind we
have ever seen. Ii is from the establishment Of
Horace Waters. Being constructed Of the best
and most thoroughly seasoned material, aud
upon improved principles, it is capable ofreslst .
ing the action of every climate, aud Of standing
long time in tune. The keys are 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 q
style of great excellence and beauty. And yet
it's chief merit lies in the power, brilliancy aud
richness OF its tone, and the elasticity Of its
touch.
