Writing 20 q friend asou, this concert, NJ.
~Nts te-s ANA%iN 49, W. 80
ished l had decided tina, a res, revolution had
been effected In piano makinS-the beautiful
tone and wonderful equality throughout lie
whole compass capiivaied me AZ once, and a.
though the Everett Rooms arc exceedingly
deficient In their construction, in point Of RI
sicAl acoustics, several prominent musical ar
tists present assured Inc tina, the moe, delicate
passages executed upon the insirumsn, were
perfectly distinct In every part o! the hall.
Since the date Of this concert the Nathushek
pianp has been my ~favoritr. Ole Bull remark
ed . short time since, while examining the
equllzet scale, that IL would remedy the great
evil that had been the cause 81 40 many fall
ures In constructing pianos by the continual
drawing Of many thousand pounds weigh; on
one part Of the instrument; this contit ual
strain from q given part causes the pianos
made upon ordinary principles 10 become com
parstively worthless In a few years, while the
new and scientific Improvement OF the equal
ixing scale renders 4, actually AL impo-sibiliiy
for the pianos to become strained or warped
In any way Comparisons are always od!ous,'
but l do not hesitate 10 cay that the Mathu-
shsk pianos are undoubtedly the mos; reliable
instruments made. Experience has taught
me that persons purchasing pianos should ask
themselves the question before selecting one
where can We purchase instruments that will
sound well after ten years user Pianos may
have q charm when we first hear them, but In
q few months they begin 10 show their weak
points, and IN q couple OF years al the iarthcst
become more like the tInkliDg VI a cracked
COW bell than a musical instrument. l firmly
believe that the Mathuehek pianos VIII last a
lifetime, and the day Is not far distant when
this instrument will take the lead OF every
other now III use"
The increased sale Of these pianos and the
constant demand have compelled Messrs. Pei
ton & Pomeroy, the Chicago agents, To move
into larger and more commodious warerooms,
at No. l52 State street, where all classes OF In
struments Of the celebrated Msthushek make
are on exhibition.
