TIHE Subscribers respectfully* call the attention of the public to their Grand, Sqtiare and Upright Pianos, of 6J, OJ, 7 and 7\ octaves, for which the Maryland Institute, for the promotion of Mechanic Art.s has swarded the first premium ever awarded by that Institute for improvement in Grand and Square Pianos. These Pianos are in large sized, highly fin ished cases of Rosewood, with entire iron frame, con structed in the most substantial manner, with all the modern improvements. The manufacturers use none but the very best sea soned timber, and materials of the choicest qualities, that enable them to warrant their instruments to stand any climate. The Firm has a patent Right action, operating on such principles that friction is almost entirely relieved or avoided, and their piano can therefore never get out of order. For chasteness of tlesign, elegance of finish, as well as for fullness, richness, and beauty of tone, these Pianos rank foremost, and are equal to any made here or in Europe. Wherever these Pianos have been introiluced, they have given, in every instance entire satisfaction. We warrant our instruments to stand good for five y«ars under careful treatment, and will receive them back and substitute others, any time within the first six months from the sale of it, if it shall not prove satisfactory.
