PIANOFORTES, 25 Guineas each.-D'ALMAINE & CO., 20. Soho Square (established
A.D. 1785) sole manufacturers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 Guineas each.
Every instrument warranted. The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes
are best described in the following professional testimonial, signed by the
majority of the leading musicians of the age:--"We, the undersigned members
of the musical profession, having carefully examined the Royal Pianofortes
manufactured by MESSRS. D'ALMAINE & CO., have great pleasure in bearing
testimony to their merits and capabilities. It appears to us impossible to
produce instruments of the same size possessing a richer and finer tone,
more elastic touch, or more equal temperament, while the elegance of their
construction renders them a handsome ornament for the library, boudoir, or
drawing-room. (Signed) J. L. Abel, F. Benedict, H. R. Bishop, J. Blewitt,
