THE OLD AND NEW.
The Difference in Modes Of Piano
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

One OF the novelties of the day seems to
be mummy under another name, at least
forty years old. Ii is clsimed that old
Jonas Chickering invented il, tried it and
quit. The thing was supposed TO be dead
AID buried. bu; SOMEBODY wanted TO get up
on Improved method of tuning the piano, and
| rs they stumbled on the corpse they cried
Eureka! Go. a new dress and galvanized
| the thing, chris.ened it NEW DEVICE" and
with money and music, sent il out as a
great improvement oil the old 'wristpin"
arranseme L.
The poor thing seemed lonesome Hallett
& Davis, SIeinway, Chickering, Decker,
knabe, S.ect, Emerson, Kimball, and the
entire army OF piano makers don't recognize
ID, and "never speak as they pass BY" The
poor innocent!
The new tuning device has been elbow
ing, pushing, Sinking and simpering to
get into good society for about four years,
and IN spite OF big money; big reputati N
of the little namesake and Bostoa b acklng.
q don't get there worth a cent.
Any new stheme or device from a
"Reatty" Golden Tongue" to the beauti-
ful projecting fange, iron carriers, screw
threads, etc, etc, VIII do to sell the dear
public, out the well seasoned pin block,
the well sunk pm and the tuning ham
mer in the hands of a competent tuner
have been found good enough by all the
best manufac ufe.s Of Europe and Ameri
ca and that is just why makers of such
universal reDOSD as those we named in the
lirs: part oil this article dol't really warm
up u the improved patent tuning de-
vice, sdyer ised Us the latest and greatest
improvement in musical instruments.
We simply rise to remark that the fol-
lowing s-at-ments are from persons who
have so much confidence In their goods that
they own what they endorse {:
