rhs amsrl,an piano Por,. rr.a..

Asan item of interest TO the thou
sands Of piano buyers in the North,
west, we publish the following article
from the New York Tribune Of Feb.
ruary 23d:
Twenty-Five years ago the number
Of pianos made in America, was. ex-
ceedingly small. Tho workmanship
of these, with few exceptions, was in.
ferior to that Of Europe. Musical taste
and musical demand grew rapidly,
however, and American inventors be.
gan TO revolutionize the Old World
theory of piano structure. The value
OF the improvements thus effected in
the making Of pianos has been admit
ted by the world generally. BY testi
mony of the most eminent musical
professors, our own pianos are decided
ly superior to those of Europe.
