NOTICE II

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsTEEN
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Worlds Fair. It is but JUS
tice to say that the Judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Planos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after this, they are entitled to the motto,
Excelsior" may29.
