CORRECTION. F. M. B. FISHER-MARTIN KENNEDY TT having come to my knowledge to-day that Mr. F. M. B. Fisher, at one of his public meetings last week, before a large audience, stated that 'Martin Keni nedy, as 'mortgagee, sold tho late Mr. George Fisher's house over ! hi 3 head, etc., etc., I take tho | earliest opportunity of giving that statement of Mr. Fisher's a most unqualified denial. I never had any mortgage or lion, directly or indireotly, over any property of the late Mr. Fisher, consequently never sold anything belonging to him, or any house ho ever lived in. I may add that Mr. Fisher to-day admitted his mistake, that he used my name inadvertently ; but as he has failed to give the retraction, full publicity, I deem it a duty to myself and my friends to give a statement co publicly made a publio contradiction. MARTINI KENNEDY. sth December, PIANOS 1 OF the Great Tone Poets who havo preferred tho Broadwood 'Pianofortes, mention should be made of the immortal Beethoven. Mozart, Handel, and Haydn, too, were valued patrons of Broadwood, and Tschudi Cramer was a life-long supporter o£ tho house. Later, Weber and Mendelssohn used Broadwood instruments. But to Chopin — "the boldest and proudest poetic spirit of the times" — the firm can point with particular pride ; he performed upon their instruments exclusively in England and Scotland. Again, the Abbo Liszt, during his last visit to Great Britain, after using a Broadwood at his reception in London at the Grosvenor Gallery, wrote-^-'This excellent Grand I playod upon with delight." Subsequently, at five other receptions givon in his honour — at the Royal Academy of Music, the Baroness Burdott-Coutts's, the Princess Ghica's, Lady Walter Scott's, and Mr. Littleton's— the eminent virtuoso played on Broadwood instruments. And it was none other than the great poet composer, Wagner, who, when last in London, referring to a Broadwooi pianoforte, said — "It is certain that tiie tone of this instrument, noble and beautiful, reminds one of the character of the old Italian violins." This verdict, so unanimously given by tho great dead, its more than over endorsed by living pianists and musicians, who speak in tho highest terms of the touch and tone of the modern Broadwood instruments. DURABILITY— "No pianofortes," observed Liszt, "last anything like so well as those of Broadwood." Here are a few exceptional illustrations: — Fir6t and foremost are the three instrumonte, two of which went out in the North Polo Expedition in 1875, and are still in use; and the third pianoforte having journeyed as near as possible to the South Pole, returning in 1904 none tho worso for wear boyond a few external scratches.
