HaZclton Pianos.
From the Nen York Neus.--.....--.-.,-- ,---.s-.-.--=
The improvements in the manufac-
turc OF piano fertcs, for the past thirty
). years, are very strongly marked, yet
are scarcely conceivable by those who
( have not watched the progress from
the former awkward instruments 10
the elegant and symmetrical pianos of
!, the present day. So high has the
i standard Of cXcellence been raised,
that the production of those celebrated
instruments not only challenges the Sc
vercst art criticisms, but have created
for them Il reputation limited only by
the bounds of civilization. The pres
cnt high state of pcricctiom attaiucd
la this respect, has been the work OF
years, guided aud directed by an ex-
! quisite taste. sound Judgment and
/ artistic skill. ........ l.s~
In n city like Now York. the me-
tropoiis of the New World, aud the
rival of tic most famed and OPulcnt
cities Of the Old, where tho most clc-
CANT instruments arc matters OF daily
| observation, and where the public
taste and requirements are educated
up to the highest style OF substantial
workmanship and elaborate finish, no
ordinary firm can lay claim to public
patronage in this regard with any
reasonable prospect OF success, for
when the combined requirements OF
! wealth, elegance and fashion are to be
| met in the adOrnment of the drawing
room, then it is only the masters OF
/ the profession that are competent to
/ the task. y +'t.e '.'.e' 90 .'.

The Messrs. Hazelton are natives of
New York, and commenced their Ca
reer as early as 1873, with Dubois &
StOdart who were located at that time
i'm Crosby Street, near Grand, and II
is from that date we can announce the
many improvements that characterize
the superior instruments bearing their
names.
From their earliest beginning, how
ever, they have never allowed any
thing short ofpcrfection 10 leave their
hands. as the instruments manufac-
tured by them thirty years ago attest
Ter them selves. We saw one of their
earliest productions while OIL a visit
to their wareroOms, which, i'll beauty
Of finish and design, cxccls in many
instances those OF more modern man
ufacture.
Frederick .IIazeIten, Esq, has, we
may say, charge of the IN rnusicaIdepart-
meut, and no instrument is allowed TO
leave the establishment that does not
stand the tests applied by this musical
expert !; in touch ii must be responsive
aud its tone perfect. while in it's me-
clianical construction it must receive
the combined approval Of its makers.
Henry Hazelton, ESD, is the super
intendant OF the mechanical depart
ment, aud watches closely it's vast de-
tails aud nothing short OF right, which
means everything here, to enter any
part of the instrument, thus issuing to
q confiding public, at once, something
not only beautiful but reliable.
