WoRru Notwithstanding that
the majority of the piano-buying public
are ignorant of the fact, we would init
mate that the two most noted pianos OF
the world, viz: the Steinway and Chick
ering, have been greatly improved the
past few months, and these changes
have so materially enhanced their value
that they have been placed beyond COM
petition. We would state that for vol
umc, quality and precision of tone, elias
ticity of action and lifelong durability
there is nothing in the market which
can begin to compare with these match
less Instruments. In the Stcinway, by
the accession of the cupola frame, the du-
pick scale, and the agrafie arrangement
throughout-three very essential i'm
provcmcnts-tbe value of each instru-
mcnt is enhanced from $50 TO 800.
Mr.. Fred. II. Cluctt, at 269 River st.
Troy, and SO and % North Pearl ST e,

comparable pianos, as also the very
