in rail* The Special J tertte of this Kmwlleat Atrirmaent. For the psrpoae es being able to give lateJUxent And trustworthy Information to persons »t present work of some of the more prominent manufacturers, and waa so struck by the many esecllMt qualities pot sussed by wbat Is known of the Matboshek Piano* that he felt It Incumbent os hint to give a fuller account of the special merits of this instrument than «/*“* pUuo - “ 4 lty the me or the equalising scale and linear bridge, the tei.alon of the airings, Instead of being all upon one corner. Is brought to bear upon all aides Of the irou plate and frame, dlstribatlng the strain In every direction, and tele Ingenious dlstrlUnllon of tho strings U of the almost Importance In rendering tea piano dVratye. The Immense preesure of 188 (triage (which has heretofore been concent rated upon one end of Urn sounding-board, greatly obstructing Its vibration ai.d causing the board to settle) la, by the nse of the linear bridge, equally distributed oVer tee entire length of the sounding-board, greatly Increasing the quality of power aud tone, and also tee strength and durability of the piano. It Ie confidently bettered and remarked by the beet judges, who have carefully observed the balancing pressure of the strings, both upon tho Iron frame and (ouuillng-hoard, teat these pianos. Instead of being old at eight years, will lasts lifetime, and keep In tune at one-quarter the expense of any other piano. My the use of the linear bridge, the cotti|>any obtained over one foot more In length of bridge In the coiibrl ihaMi found In tea fnll-sue pianos with the old scab s. It funs (he whole length of the sounding-board, crossing tiro grain of tee wood-fYlibh Is Indispensable to a uniform tone) and gives equal disirlbullon of the strings with much greater spaee to each string upon the bridge, also equal premure on the soundingbuard through lta entire length. Imparting to It the greatest possible capacity or vibration—producing at once the moat anioulshlug power, richness and depth or tone, wlib an Inspiring singing quality that cannot be equalled by any other scale. The iron frame la entirely new and novel, moat substantial In lta construction, pith three cross bars, rendering It Impregnable to shy pressure ever brought Iu bear upuu it. t The frame extends with Increased thickness of plate otw the wrcst-plsnk. Into tkiaextension are drilled the holes lo receive the bushing for the tunlng plns. These bushings are a patent, held and vied only by this company, and are made (by machine In Its factory) of hard maple plank (selected with great Cere for its souudness! ana are then forced into lta holes drilled to receive them. They are teen ready to receive the tuning-pins, which, when once pi seed, are literally held lu a grasp or iron, and tbefe la now SO chance tor the action of the atmosphere to lengthen or com tract the strings (as In the case when the pins are inserted In the wood frame i and yet they have all tbg advantage ofayrood bearing, and the pin la firmly held to the very point at which the string takes bold. This la one of the reasons why those pianos require bat one-fourth of the tnnlng necessary tor others. There Is a greater length of strings through all tee treble and middle notes of the Mathushek piano than any othcr.glvtng greater volume of tone, In proportion to the length of strings, while the Into chord with tell Increase of tone in other puts by the use of the linear bridge. The bridge for Urn boss notes on the SqnaUrtng scale has a spsce on the sounding-board remote l._jm the treble bridge; while all tee strings throughout the entire scale are to distributed teat each note has the beet possible arrangement tor uninterrupted vibration. A little knowledge of tee philosophy of the subject .hows this to be a very Important arrangement A distinguished Professor defines music*] tone to be the result of uninterrupted vibration, and the noise tile result of Interrupted vibration. . Now, if the bass strings of the plsuu vibrate lflO In aseoond. while the treble string* vibrate SUO times In a second, these strings caneea oufrespondlhg vibration of the sounding board at the point where they cross the bridge; and If they take plsce.close together, as by the curved bridges, the result Is an Interrupted vibration, both tones running Into one, as the. circles wheaeeveral pebbles are-thrown Into stHl water. A comparison or the two systems will show the advantage derived from the nse of tee linear bridge, and the subject is worthy of carefal attention. Never before has any piano been subjected to soch dose criticism and severe teste by friends and foes. The scales, being radically different front any other, so ingenious In the construction and producing such wondeiful power and parity of tone, has attracted the attention and admiration of mechanics, philosophers and musical critics, and it haateerefore been looked upon as an innovation by manufacturers and dealers in other pianos, who, being unable to Bid ta It any weak points for assault, have endeavored to storm It by unjtmt 'assertions. Bat after tea years of thorough trial It baa more than vindicated the highest hoprs of Ms friends, and la feat silencing the guns of ‘‘A&hekpl.tod are acknowledged by the best jndges of mnslis. ha,all parte of tec country, to be vastly superior to say other pianos made; and all philosophical, unbiased minds who have examined tee -equalizing scale, concede that it most forever prevent the lnstrnment from yielding a particle to the Immense tension of tee strmgs.Tnsnre perfect protection against setting of She sounding-board, loosening of the tuning-pins, or breaking away of the wreat-plank, sad. therefore, that the original volume of tune must -ever remain with tee Instrument (Instead of gradually hiding out, as ton been the case with the tone of all other pianos) and that at lasts piano is constructed which will live and Improve, like the violin, and bo handed down from generation to generation, the loved relic of thebouadmkl, improving In tone end becoming more and more endeared to us by age.
