PIANO FORTE AND MUSIC SALOON,
189, UNION STREET.
WOOD & CO. have the honour to announce to the inhabitants
of Aberdeen, and the surrounding districts, that they have Opened
these extensive Premises, for the Sale and Hire of PIANO-
FORTES, MUSIC, and all the other Miscellaneous Articles con-
nected with the Business.
WOOD & CO. may be permitted to observe that the Stock of PIANO-
FORTES now in their Saloon is very much more varied and extensive than any
that has hitherto been exhibited in Aberdeen, and consists of nearly all the
different descriptions manufactured by the well-known and highly-esteemed firms
of Messrs. John Broadwood & Sous, and Collard & Collard.
In the lower-priced Instruments made by those London Manufacturers who
have yet to attain to the eminence of the larger houses, Wood & Co. can also
show a very numerous and well-chosen assortment, selected with great care from
the various Establishments.
Of late years, the prices of PIANO-FORTES generally have undergone a very
considerable reduction ; so much so, that a good as well as an elegant upright
Instrument, such as can be warranted to stand well in Tune, and prove satis-
factory, can now be purchased between £20 and £30. It is hardly necessary for
Wood & Co. to observe that the Tone of these is less mellifluous than that of
the others of the best manufacture ; but, nevertheless, they are such as could not,
ten years since, have been bought for less than double the amount at which they
can now be sold.
All Instruments purchased from Wood & Co. are warranted ; and if not ap-
proved of, can be exchanged at any time within six months from the date of
purchase, if returned to them in good order, and carriage free.
SECOND-HAND PIANO-FORTES.
Of these Wood & Co., from their large Hiring business, can generally command
a good supply at moderate prices.
PIANO-FORTES FOR HIRE.
From the very extensive Stock which Wood & Co. always keep in their Establish-
ments in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as in Aberdeen, they are prepared to
Hire all kinds of PIANO-FORTES at the usual rate, by the night, week, month,
or year.
Those contracting with Wood & Co. for the constant supply of a superior Instrument
will be treated with liberally.
