The Drifstr’f* Patent Piano
IS THE
BEST IN IHE WORLD.
S. B. DRIGGS, OF NEW YORK,
IE THE INVEifiTER & PATENTEE-
E Las done more to perfect the Piano than all
_ others. They arc made as much as possible,
ihe Violin, having two sounding boards, one at
lop, the other at bottom, convexing outwards a thin
case with oval ends, all free from the strain of the
strings,* which comeson an iron frame and bed plate.
By this arrangement a large chamber for sound is
formed, and a tone produced never before heard in
a Plano: the base deep nnd Organ-like, the treble
clear and bell-like. These Pianos will remain in
tune mueh longer than any others, from the fact
that they are not affected by damp and dry weather,
for the strain of the strings is entirely on Iron. Be
sure not to depend on Manufacturers of other Pianos,
their Agents, Dealers, or Teachers of music com
mitted to them, when they speak against the Driggs
Piano, for they are sure to run them down, as they
know that they will supercede all others wherever
they become known, as sure as the sun shines.—
Inquire of those who have bought and tried them.
The following gentlemen have purchased Drigg’s
Pianos: Prof. L»R- Branham, P. (J. Guttenberger,
Professor of music in the - W. F. College: Professor
Williams, of the Academy for the blind, Mr. J. II.
R. Washington, of the State Bank, Mr. G. W. Ross,
all of Macon, Ga. Also, Dr. Billings, of Columbus,
Dr. Mathews, of Fort Valley, Col. J. L. Rowland,
of Cartersville. Hon. Mark A. Cooper, of Etowah.
Mrs. E. A.-Edwards, Albany, Ga., and a number of
others, fifteen in all. ■
Any one purchasing a Driggs Piano, can have
the money refbnded, if after a year’s trial, it does
not prove a better Piano than .those of any other
make ever sold in Georgia. All communications on
the subject, should be directed to O B. Rice,
RTite-uii, Gn., sole Agent for Georgia. He re
fers to the above named gentlemen, or any respon
aible citizen of Macon, at to his ability or willing
ness to fulfill all his contracts.

for twenty-three years, and claims to understand
the Instrument thoroughly.
