PIANO FORTES.
We, the undersigned, take great pleasure in recommending to the lovers of music, an article manufactured by D. B. GROVE, termed by him the
GRAND ACTION PIANO FORTE :
An instrument which, for tone, delicacy of touch, grandeur and durability of workmanship, is not surpassed by any made in this country. Too much praise cannot be awarded to his enterprising workman for the skill displayed by him in the manufacture of these instruments, the whole interior arrange- ment of which, is, we understand, the production of his own ingenuity and invention.
We are gratified to learn, judging from the great demand of this article, and the very extensive sales made in this city and in various sections of the country, that he is about to be amply rewarded for the heavy expenses incurred in bringing the article to its present state of perfection.
We feel great confidence in recommending those who may be desirous of purchasing, to call at the establishment of Mr. GROVE, No. 338 Market street below Tenth, believing that they may procure, on the most advantageous terms, all articles in his line, that will on trial give entire satisfaction.
