l.. GiLBERTs SQUARE GRAND PIAHo.-A great
improvement I'VE yesterday had the pleasure of
listening to and examining great improvement
IN the Piano. as perfected by that well known and
highly popular manufacturer, Lemuel Gilbert 614
Washington street. Mr.. G. terms it the Square
Grand Piano. and the instrument is certainly
splendid achievement in point of art, skill, beau.
ty, and all that can render it complete. We are
not at liberty to explain the hoC and ,chv of these
improvements, and it is a matter the public care
very little about, so long as the best possible Pi-
Nno is the result. 1t is the product of years of
toll and experiment, and cannot fail to achieve
that patronage aud popularity which it's merits
surely cMim. A power, purity. and resonance of
tone has been attained which makes it unmstak-
Iaby superior to any instrument ever before man
ufactured here or elsewhere. To our judgment
it IS the Piano in perfection. In addition to this
remarkable power and transparency of tone, un
der the new Improvement the instrument will re-
main long time in tune--an advantage that will
be appreciated by all who have a practical ac-
quaiEtance with Pianos Another noticeable and
beautiful feature of the Piano is in its harp tones
which are not so much an imitation of that instru-
ment, as the very instrument ITSELF One cannot
convince himself that it is not harp, or that it is
a Piano. This fact alone is a compliment to the
superiority of the instrument which requires no
comment. This, in connection with its richness,
strength, and purity of tone generally, ranks it
at the very head and front of instruments in this
department Of the world of music and harmony.
As an evidence of the appreciation in which
| it is held by those connected with its particu-
lar beauties we may state that it received pre-
miums recently at three Fairs, where it out
stripped all comparison with others. We can
assure our readers and the puNlic, that Mr.. Gil
bert offers, in this instrument, something superior
to what has ever before been attained, as will be
evident to all who hear and investigate for them
selves; and whoever contemplates purchasing an
instrument, should not fail first to see this
LEMUEL GILBERT's NEW SoUARE GRAND PIANO

it is due.
We are not surprised that the public popular
journals in this city and elsewhere are teeming
with enthusiastic testimonials in favor of Lemue
Gilbert's New Square Grand Piano Fortes IS su
periOr to all other square instruments in thi:
country, which opinions we have heard corrobo
rated by many great Masters Piano Forte play
ers, Amateurs, &C., who have tried them, an(
listened to the soul-moving richness, fullness
sweetness, and purity of their tone.
We arc not surprised that they have received
the first premium in the several Fairs at whicl
they have been placed in competition this Fall
when premiums have been awarded

our judgment,) Lemuel Gilberrs Square Gran,
Piano Fortes are the best square instruments ex
