Franz List and the chickerins

MESSRS. 1t is very
agreeable to me to add my name to the
conert of praises of which your pianos
are the object.
To be just 1 must declare them perfect,
and perfectissimes (superlatively perfectly.
There is no quality which is foreign
to them. Your instruments possess, in
the supreme degree, nobility and power
of tone, elasticity and security of the
touch, harmony, brilliancy, solidity,
charms and prestige; and thus offer a
harmonious ensemble Of projections, to
the exclusion Of all defects.
Pianists of the least pretentions will
find means of drawing from them agree
able effects; and in face of such products
which truly do honor to the art of the
construction of instruments-ths role of
the critic is as simple as that of the pub
lie; the one has but to applaud them
conscientiously and with entire satsfao-
ton, and the other but to procure them
in the same manner.
In congratulatiDg you sincerely upon
the great and decisive success obtained
at the Exposition at Paris ! am pleased
to anticipate the happy continuation Of
the same in all places where your pianos
will be heard and beg that you accept,
gentlemen, the expression Of my most
disting uished sentiments Of esteem and
consideration.
(Signed) 3. LISZT.

While in Boston Wednesday, repre-
sentative of this firm came across some
thing that attracted and held his atten-
ton.
y 1t was fine all wool Ulster in Oxford
gray, wide collar, wool lining, well made.
Sold scores of them last yeal and this at
SASS.
He,was offered the entire lot at Zig
ure that would enable us to sell them al
$1,000 each.
He didn't buy, came home to dream
about those listers. Woke up deter
mined to have 'em, Telegraphed for 'em
and they're here.
Not great many of them. Perhaps
enough to last three days if Ulster
wanters are slow in getting here.
Most all sizes. Don't expect to get sc
much for your money again this winter,
or you won't.

Vladimir de Pachman and the
Chickering Pianos.
'sTHE WILLOUGHBY,"
"THE WILLOUGHBY,"
SARATOGA, August rs, 1890.


The Chickering Piano rightfully stands
alone, for on this earth it is not only I'M
surpassed, but unequaled. I can give
logical and aesthetic proofs Of my asser-
ton. When one asks: why do these
unique manufacturers attain perfection?
the answer is: because they have en-
doavored to secure (as no others have
done) and have succeeded in securing
the nearest possible approach to the tone
of nature. to what is known as the hui
man voice; the Chickering Piano sings
like. lovely voice. This is no compli-
ment, but the expression Of my innermost
conviction, if may harbor an opinion
on this subject.
Yours truly,
VLADIMIR DE PACHMANN.
