Fine Piamo.--Messrs. Mum &
Jones have the Sterling piano which
was exhibited recently at fair in
New York, and which drew the follow
ing among other complimentary re-
marks from the World
No one who has visited the gallery at the
fair can have failed to notice the beautiful
upright piano exhibited by the Sterling COM
pany. On the finish of it the manufacturers
have surely exhausted their art. The polish
ed surface is without a flaw and the artistic
carving and fretwork give it an air Of
elegance worthy of the richest drawing-room
, in the country. 1t is constantly surrounded
to the concerts it furnishes. One need not
contine oneself to the gallery, however, to
hear. Its tones have peculiar penetrating
} quality which makes them audible at long
distance, without, at the same time, being
disagreeably sharp, as many loud-voicel
; pianos are. On the contrary, the quality of
} its tone is delightfully."- soft and mellow This
} magnificent instrument is five feet, three
5 inches in length and four feet, seven incl es
high, while its depth or width is two feet, four
2 and one-half inches. One wonders how so
3 small a case can contain so much music 1t
5 is 7!-octavo cabinet grand. The price is Il
| very small amount for an article which at
s the same time is an extremely ornamental
( piece of furniture and can give so much
3 pleasure to the ear. The frame is what is
> technically described as full iron" with a
I casing of finest rosewood In interior
, mechanism it is not to be cxccled by the old
est and better known instruments. Three
strings, an over-strung scale and repeating
action comprise the latest improvements and
e place this piano on the list with those that
$ are considered standards Great pains are
: taken by the manufacturers to have all their
materials well seasoned and of the best quail
, ity. None but thoroughly skilled workmen
. are employed, and they take pride in turning
out none but the best work. They warrant
all their instruments for fully five years. so
5 that no one need feel doubtful absut thei1
Z durability.
