The Grovesteen Piano Forte still re-

tains its precedence and great popularity, and
after undergoing gradua! improvements for a
period of thirty yeats, is now pronounced by
the musical world to be unsurpassed and even
unoqualled in richness, volume and purity of
tone, durability and cheapness. Our new
scale, French action, harp pedal, iron frame,
over-strung bass, seven octave, rosewood pl-
amos we are selling cheaper by from 500 to
$500 than the same style and finish are sold
by any other first-class makers in the coun-
try. Dealers and all in want of good pianos
are invited to send for our Descriptive Cata-
logue, which contains photographs of our
different styles, together with prices. Medals,
almost without number, have been awarded
to the Grovesteen Piano, and at the Celebra-
ted Worlds Fair, though put in competition
with others from all parts of Europe and the
U. s., it took the highest award.

NOTICE.


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
a 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 Werld's Fair. 1t 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 Pianos, 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.
