ARE THE ONLY INST TRUMEETs oonatruciol ou a
truly scientific prlnelpe. They have greater strength,
and will remain longer in Tune than any other Piano,
The construction is simple aud natural all the extrane
lumber in the body of the instrument Is dispensed
with the sound boards merslY two afched planks
Of thin wood like the front and back Of a violin the
strings attached to strong iron frame, which is
separated and entirely independent Of the case thereby
dispensing with the old harp form Of sringng by sub
stltuting straight bridges preseryngat the time
the Over Strung Bass, Of which Mr. DRb1s is the Inven-
tor. BY these improvements gain much more yibra-
tory power, the same time preserving all Its purity

From the NJ Il Herald, Sept, Upon careful eA.
animation of DRIils Piano oFOrte ud the Iesus OBJ
taned are very fine singing tone, great purity and
brilancy throughout the entire instrument not often
found In Pianos constructed upon the old plan.

instrument without equal 1t sing with smooth
dellcaey, perfectly unatainable any other nsiru-
men an ordinary player obtains with exer.on, the
fulness Grand Piano Forte, and they must speedily
superceds the old style.
GENTLEMEN Having thoroughly examined and tested
the Pano.Fortes invented and patented by Mr.. s. b,
DRIaas, am of the opinion that the tone resulting
from his improvements, exhibited In the instruments
under examination, in point of richness, depth and
braucy equals that ofthe best Grand tiino-Fortss,
and ezces them in pure sical intOnatOn and deadi
tome power thus APPROX ximAng closer 10 what consider
