Review.

The editor of the Savannah Republican, Sa.
vannah, Ga, speaking o! the piano fortes kept
by Messrs. J w Morrell * Co., of that city,
says:

might we'll be supposed, that III so large col
| lection there would be some very fine instru-
ments But there is one which, for beauty Of
finish and richness and orillIancy OF tone equals
/ If 1t Does 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 and
upon improved principles. it is capable OF resist
ieg the action of every climate, and Of st.ndug
a long time in tune. The keys are Of pearl,
and the recess for the finger board is iulaid with
pearl, while the legs are most eaborately cary
ed, and the whole instrument finished up la a
style Of great excellence and beauty. And yet
its chief merit lies in the power, brilliancy and
richness OF its tone, and the elasticity Of its
touch.
