NeSs3'S. VIM. Kltabe & Co.: GENTLE
MEN-Reterring TO our late conversation,
have concluded to order one Of your Psrlor
Grands, described in your catalogue as
Style No. 3-$1, $50. Please make an extra
fine selection for me, and ship same by first

the same time ! avail myself OF this oppor-
tunlty TO relterate to you my unqualified
appreciation of your admirable instruments,
expressed to you already on former coca.
sions, and to add that the continued use of
them during my stay in this country, and
frequent comparison OF them with the pianos
of the other leading makes of America,
have only confirmed my convictions that
your pianos have no rivals, but surpass all
other makes l have tested, either in this
country or in Europe. They combine all
the essentials of a really perfect piano, i'm
mense power with exquisite sweetness and
perfect blending with the voice, wonderful
endurance with most delightful, easy aud
at the same time elastic touch, aud what is
also OF great Importance extraordinary
f1rmness in keeping in tune. After the ex-
perience had with other pianos, really
did not think it was possible to construct
instruments requiring SO little tuning as
found those which | used of your make. I
have really become so attached TO your
pianos that in parting from this country /
do not wish to part with them, and con-
cluded, therefore, to have one of your
Grauds to accompany me to Europe With
best thanks for all your kind attentions, and
sincerest wishes for the continued success
which you so highly deserve, yours very
truly, PAULINE LUCIA,
RESPECTED SIRs-Having purchased a
numuer of Squares and one Graud Piano of
VIM. Knabe & Co.'s manufacture from
you, permit us to express our great salts
| faction with the same. They have indeed
surpassed our expectations in every way.
Having used pianos of various first-class
| makers for many years in our institute, we
| must say, in justice to true merit, that the
knaoe Instruments stand the severe tax of
| school better than all others for durabil-
| lty, which, together with their grand,
powerful tone, agreeable and most elastic
of actions, proves them unequaled in our
| opinion, and shall at all times take special
pleasure in recommending them to the
public generally, and to all literary insti-
| tutos particularly, in preference to all other
pianos manufactured, feeling sure all will
| be equally pleased az we are. Most respect
| fully, SISTER ROSE.

MesSrS. Wnl. Knabe d Co.: After the
thorough experience | had with your pianos
| on my concert tours in the United States
| and Canada this season. during which I
used them exclusively, take pleasure In
st ting that in all my experience as concert
pianist, / have never found all instrument
which came up to all my requirements
more fully than your pianos, and derived
the greatest satisfaction in their USE
They combine in the highest degree all the
qualities required for an artistic interpreta-
ton of the different styles of piano compos-
ers so varied In character, greatest possible
volume, depth and richness of tone, of re-
fined and sympathetic tirnbre, combined
with pearly brilliancy and perfect evenness
| throughout the 9 tire scale, with an ton
and touch of surprising nghtness and re-
sponsiveness. Congratulating you on the
| success you have achieved, / remain yours
sincerely, CHEvALIER DE KoNTsKI,
