is the invention of an eminent and
we'll known Swiss musical instrument
maker, and embodies new and valua-
bic improvements not to be found else
where. It has black and white keys
(sharps and flats, } same size and pro
portion as regular piano. The &C.
ton is exactly the same as in regu-
ular piano, and any one who can
play the Piano can play on the Men
delssohn for beginners it is exactly
as good as a $3.50 piano. In short,
'',o 7,ays ard strikers arc on tho same
principle as a regular Piano. The
notes OF producers are insulated steel
bars, which give the same tone as a
tuning-fork, the most correct notes
known; and being of metal never get
out of order, and never require tun-
ing.
This beautiful little instrument can
he seen at the Ladies Fair now in
progress at L. B. Porter's, on Broad
way. Tt is worth quarter just to
see it, and somebody will get it for
twenty Eve cents.
