I HESE Instruments have enjoyed
4 high reputation for more than
forty years. They are BRILLIANT
and MUSICAL in Tone, and afford a
most beautiful accompaniment to vo-
cal music-the tone having that rare
SYMPATHETIC QUALITY which blends
admirably to the HUMAN VOICE.
They are DURABLE, being construct
ed of the DEST MATERIALS, by the
MOST sKILLFUL woRKMEN. They have
earned an especial reputation for
KEEPING IN TUNE, and also for retain
ing in most remarkable degree their
original fullness of tone-never grow
ing thin or wiry with age. The Com
pany, through their agents, have re-
ceived several FIRST PREMIUMS during
the past few years, and their instru-
ments have invariably taken high rank
wherever exhibited.
