finish and richness and briliancy of tone equals

and most thoroughly seasoned material, and
upon improved principles, it is capable ofresist

long time in tune. The keys are Of pearl
aud the recess for the finger board is inIaid with

its chief merit lies in the power, brilliancy and
richness of its tone, and the elasticity Of its
touch.
