". Ane\v; Pianofor|;e, recently manufactured by Messrs John Brinsmead and Sons, claims notice, not only on account of its beauty and richness of 'toiie,- but ■speb'ially c 'for f som'e! ingenious mechanical novelties ; the most im-portant-being the addition of a third pedal, by means of which the sound of any note or notes may be; almost indefinitej^/grpjoggid^at the will of tho player. Thus', bass notes|may be sustained after, being struck by the left hand, which may then be taken away, and, with the right hand, may execute the most brilliant staccato passages; tlfiis /glving/almSsb the effect of four hands. The patent!^ clkeakrcpeafer ■ action," ... a speciality of Messrs Brinsmead, enables the performer to command with case the most rapid reiteration pf the same note' t th6 facility -<Sf- tiyk"§f^M6ve^ae¥t in general being such that •glisddn&6 'passages can be executed with such perfect ease as to render them practicable with the lightest touch. Tho volume of tone is intensified by a peculiar construction of the Bounding board, another improvement- being the system of bridging, by which the vibrations are increased and rendered sympathetic. The Pinaforte is capable of all degrees of delicacy and power, its massive structure rendering it less liable to get out of .tune than iisual ; and rtjh& fflsfcJumept is 'altogether icalculateff^Eb extend tho v i<ep'utation of its makers. vJ~ JOHN BRINSMEAD AND SONS 1 i^May be obtained of all the principal Music Sellers.
