R. W U R N U M,
Manufacturer or Patent Double-Aci'ion Piccolo, and
Grand Pianoforte..,
Music-HoU Bedford- Square, London,
If" AS now foivvarded to 4 High Streel;, Dundee, an
-S- assortment of Piccolo and Piccolo G/and PIANO-
FORTES.
The Royal Patent equal tension Piccolo Pianoforte is a su-
perlor specimen of accurate mechanism. Its cimplicity is ad-
mi'pble, perhaps the nimost possible. It is highly reconimendedi
by the mosi, emioent prolessional gentlemen in London, and wasi
the favourite instrument of the celebrated composer Socksa. \i
has two pedals ; stands extremely well in tune; maybe placed
in any part of a room, wi;li equal advantage, being highly
finished on all s'des, and French polished. It possesses all t'le
harmony and liclmess of tone of the Grand. The strings are all
oithz new Iivp.oced Sicel, and equal in their tension, — by which
arrangement each string has a similar power of resistance against
the influence of the atmosphere.
With respect to the Double Action, it is an invention of th<ii
first importance to upright Pianofortes. It gives a firmness anil
certainty of touch hitherto unknow n ; potiSessc; great excellenci!
in rapid execution, and in no single property rega''c''ng touch v
it surpassed by other keyed instruments.
The above Patent Pianofortes will be sold in Dundee, at thi;
manuf'acturer's printed list of pi ices, by Mr. Alexandeb
Cameron, Agent for the Patentee.
PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT.
TN consequence of the liberal share of employment will'
-*- which George and Pt.0BEaT BIiln have been favoured, thej
beg to intimate that they have removed thei ■ Printing Eslablisli
inent to larger and more commodious premises, on the east sid
of the New Inn Entrj', adjoining the Post Oflico. Their Founl
of Types (which are all new and of the best kinds) have bee
considerably enlarged ; and they have made an addition to theij
Printing Presses. They trust, therefore, that, in the Printin
of Books, Pamphlets, and every description of Mercantile Wor]
their Employers may rely on beauty of typography, accurac]
and despatch. I
G. and R. Miln are making arrangements for LiTHOGRAPHi
Printing, — which they expect v, ill be completed in three ■(
four weeks hence.
