HEWS' PATENT AMERICAN ACTION PIANO FORTE. From the illustrious Pianist, L M. GOTTSCHALK, to Mr. Hews' Agent at New York.


Mr. N. P. B. CURTISS-Dear Sir :- Having had the pleasure of per- forming upon Geo. Hews' American Patent Action Piano, at the World's Fair in this city the present year, and other of his Pianos at your Warerooms, which afforded me much gratification, I cheer- fully recommend them to the public. I am very glad of the im- provement in the action. These instruments likewise are of excel- lent tone, owing no doubt, to the perfection of the scales.


Very Respectfully, L. M. GOTTSCHALK. Manufactory, 379 Washington Street, Boston.

The present Senior partner being the oldest Piano Manufacturer in Boston. This firm has within the last year introduced some very important and material


IMPROVEMENTS.


An entire set of new scales have been made, including a new scale for a Grand Pianoforte. The first Piano made from it re- ceived the award of a Silver Medal at the last Exhibition of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association. By the peculiar construction of said new scales, they have greatly improved their Square Pianofortes, by increasing the vibration, clearness, and purity of tone. They have also adopted a


New Improved Action,


which is simple in its construction, very sensitive to the most deli- cate touch, operates without a spring, (an advantage possessed by no other action,) and therefore requires little, if any regulating, by the changes of weather or climate ; combines all the most de- sirable qualities sought for during the last twenty years. For which a Medal was awarded at the last Fair of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association. These instruments are prepared for Coleman's Patent


Eolian Attachment.


in which there is combined with the Pianoforte, a Wind Instru- ment, the same key-board controling both in such a manner, that either can be used separate, or both together, thus furnishing an instrument for Organ or Piano music, er that may be combined at the pleasure of the performer, in orchestral effects.


Iron Frames.


From a knowledge of the fact that Pianofortes made without metalic frames, (as was the case in some of the first to which the Eclian was applied,) were constantly subject to variations in pitch by changes of temperature, many persons have honestly supposed it impracticable, and inexpedient, to combine a Wind with a Stringed Instrument. But having the strings connected with the entire iron frame at both ends, (as all are now made by this firm,) entirely obviates this difficulty. The strings and frame expand- ing and contracting together which preserves a uniform pitch in the Piano, so that no additional tuning is required over the ordi- nary Pianoforte, to keep the Piano in tune with the Reeds,


Medals and Diplomas


have repeatedly been awarded to these manufacturers, in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and other places, but have never, (pre- vious to 1856,) in any advertisement, handbill or circular, been alluded to in a single instance by them, having always relied upon the character of their instruments, which have now been before the public about thirty years.

may be stated that at the last Exhibition of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, they were awarded SILVER and BRONZE MEDALS, for GRAND and SQUARE PIANOFORTES.
