Cabinet Organs. Having experimental sew
eral years at great expense, and with the a.
sistance Of probably as able a corps of experts
as can be found In any factory In the world,
they have succeeded in producing il piano
which has elected tho warmest encomiums
from the best judges. The distinguishing
feature about 1t is an important improvement
In the method of "stringing' the piano, which
originated in their own factory. The strings
are secured by metallic fastenings, instead OF
by the friction Of pins set in wood, az has
been the case, and the advantages resulting
are numerous and highly important; among
them are the following: Wonderful beauty
and musical quality of tone, far less liability
OF getting out OF tune, creator reliability Ia
