PIANOFORTES,

BALTIMORE, MD.
THESE Instruments have been before the
public for nearly thirty years, and upon
their excellence alone attained an unpur
chased pre-eminence, which pronounces them
unequalled. Their tone combines great power,
sweetness, and fine singing quality, as well
as great purity of intonation, and evenness
throughout the entire scale. Their touch is
pliant ami elastic, and entirely free from the
stiffness found in so many pianos. In work
manship they are unexcelled : using none but
the very best seasoned material, the large
capital employed in our business enabling us
to keep continually an immense stock of lum
ber, etc., on band.
All our square pianos have our new impro
ved overstrung scale and the Agraffe treble.
We would call special attention to our
late improvements in GRAND PIANOS and
SQUARE GRANDS (patented August 14th,
1866), which bring the piano nearer perfection
than has yet been attained.
Every piano fully warranted for five years.
