take especial pride in the following one from
America S great Pianist and Composer, Louis
MoreAu Gottschalk:
Upon the eve of my departure fom my ma
tive country permit me to express TO you nv
sentiments Of personal esteem and affection
and to congratulate you upon the high posi-
ton you have attained.
1T was no light task to sustain worthiIy the
dignity OF name made illustrious by your
father. the founder of one of the most cele.
brated Industrial establishments in the world
And remark with pride, that for period
OF eleven years, in all my concerts, more than
IN ee thousand, / have used no other Pianos
than yours.
Three years ago I expressed my opinion
concerning your Pianos, declaring at that time
tnat they were as good as the best European
inst umentsi but now. thanks to the perfection
which they have attained through your oon-
stant improvements, consider them superior
10 any In he world. AS a proof of the rare
soldIty of their construction, I may remark
thai in period of .1U0 concerts, have never
broken string in public, although my Pianos,
from constant change Of locality, are exposaa
20 all the wear OF transportation, and ofsen Go
the inclemency Of the weather
Their admirable distinctive merit is signal
marx OF artistic progress They are unrivaIled
Tor their singing qualities and for the har-
monious rOundness of their tone The MINER
notes are remarkable for a clearness and piri-
" which | do not find In any other instrument
while the bass Is distinguished for power with,
out harshness. and for magnificent sorority
In word. IKE and admire your Pianos so
II uch that shall use no other while ahsent in
South merica, and upon nay return to Europe
it VIII be to me point Of national pride to ex-
hibiT, commend and make known their exeel.
