MAJOR GLEIG |
LONDON -
"15. Major Gleig claims for his upright
pianos the following principal features, which are new :
1. The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which
has to take the pull of the strings.
2. The sounding-board.
3. The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take too
much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the piano
has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those parts
which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so massive,
that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they appear to have
been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's sounding-board
possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in ordinary instruments, and
the increased length obtained in the vibrating section of the string
conduces to fuller and richer tone than heretofore. The coating of the
hammers is of one piece of felt, and in this respect resembles the coating
adopted some time since, and occasionally used by In future pianos Major
Gleig will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of is
construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument, he
may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments, the
present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not quick
enough."

MARDON Wiliam |
MELOPHONICON
"NEW INSTRUMENT. — A pianoforte upon a novel
and elegant construction has recently been brought before the musical world,
by Mr. W. Mardon. The instrument, which is termed the Melophonicon, is of
great power and compass, and possesses a combination of excellences rarely
to be found. These excellences, it would appear, are more or less ensured by
some union of the principles of the harp, the symmetrical shape of which it
bears a resemblance to, together with those of the piano. The inventor has
already received royal patronage and a royal commission: an example which
will, doubtless, be followed by many of our aristocracy, to the advantage
and advancement of an ingenious and deserving individual."

between William Mardon and John Goddard, carrying on the trade or bussiness

receivable from the said firm are to be received and paid by John Goddard. -
Dated this 29th day of June 1840. William Mardon. John Goddard."

Yorkshire, to be seen at the above Warehouse, at greatly reduced prices,
in fact, very little, if any above what are termed Cheap Instruments
(ihough dear at any price.)
J. M. would particularly beg to say, he does not keep in his Stock any
but those made by the most Eminent MAKERS IN LONDON, which can be relied
on as regards Standing in Tune, Purity of Tone, and Elasticity of Touch.
N.B. — Any Instrument not approved of, and returned within six months,
free of expense, will be exchanged gratis.
HARMONIUMS, Suitable for Drawing Room,
Church, or Chapel, from 14 Guineas upwards

patente and manufacturer of the Royal Three-Division Pianofortes.
Manufactory-Store-Street, London. Warehouse - 34, Conney-Street, York.
J. M. begs to say he visits London periodically for the purpose of
selecting stock from his own and the Manufacturies of the above and
other Makers, From J. M's great experience in the Trade, being employed
in Messrs. Broadwood’s establishment nearly thirty years ago, he may say
he is enabled to judge of the merits of each Maker’s Instruments as
regards purity and Quality of Tone, Elasticity of Touch, Excellence of
Material and Workmanship, and Standing well in Tune.
J. M. being a great Exporter of Pianofortes, and knowing the
difficulties that have to be contended with as regards their Standing in
Tune in Extreme Climates, has spared neither Trouble nor Expense in the
Manufacture of his Instruments (with Metallic Plates, Metal Bracings,
Eve.) to obviate this evil, and J. M. is happy to say he has been
successful. (see next

"Mr. Matthews, of Nottingham, exhibits a
piccolo upright, with patent propeller action; the peculiarity of
which consists in the so called “stickers” and certain other parts of
the action being made of metal instead of wood; one of the objects of
the alteration being to interpose less material before the strings, and
therefore to offer less obstruction to the passage of the sound."

An upright pianoforte, in which an apparatus is introduced to keep the

contains an apparatus whereby various degrees in quality of tone may be
produced."

MAYOR GLEIG |
LONDON -
"15. Major Gleig claims for his
upright pianos the following principal features, which are new : —
1.
The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which
has to take the pull of the strings.
2.
The sounding-board.
3.
The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take
too much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the
piano has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those
parts which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so
massive, that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they
appear to have been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's
sounding-board possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in
ordinary instruments, and the increased length obtained in the vibrating
section of the string conduces to fuller and richer tone than
heretofore. The coating of the hammers is of one piece of felt, and in
this respect resembles the coating adopted some time since, and
occasionally used by Messrs. Broadwood. In future pianos Major Gleig
will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of his
construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument,
he may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments,
the present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not
quick enough."

placing the foot upon [the pedal] it gradually plays one unison, one degree
lower plays the second unison, and lastly the octave, which produces the
swell of an organ."

received by a metal plate with Projections, having grooves in the ends
of such projections affixed to the edge of the hammer rail, and the wire
or axis is held in position in the grooves above mentioned, by a similar
metal plate (with projections) to that heretofore used, but such
last-mentioned plate is not fixed parallel and together with the 15
first-mentioned plate to the hammer rail, on the contrary, the two
plates are fixed separately to the hammer rail, and at an angle to each
other.[...]" Read more :

THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS
1882 -
"MR. THOMAS MOLINEUX, who so munificently gave the Royal Society of
Musicians one thousand guineas last year, has recently forwarded to the
Honorary Treasurer, Mr. W. H. Cummings, a letter inclosing a New Year's
gift of one hundred guineas. We are glad to be able to add that the
members of the Society at their Christmas general meeting, unanimously
decided to rescind the clause in the by-laws of the Society which made
it imperative for all candidates for membership to have resided for a
certain period within twenty-five miles of London-an absurd regulation,
for as soon as a candidate became elected he was free to live where he
pleased; and, as a matter of fact, there have been members and claimants
on the Society in America, Australia, France, and other foreign
countries. The Society is described in its charter as of Great Britain,
and it is now wisely and liberally determined that professors of music
in any part of Great Britain shall be eligible for membership. This
reform was ardently desired by many members of the Society now deceased,
notably Sir Sterndale Bennett and Sir John Goss, and it is to be hoped
that all cathedral organists and eminent provincial musicians will at
once evince their instinct for self-protection, and their love and
charity for their less fortunate brethren and sisters, by enrolling
themselves as members of this truly benevolent institution. The books of
the Society show that in the year 1881 actual money grants have been
made to over eighty persons, in various sums amounting in the aggregate
to nearly three thousand pounds."
Musical Times and Singing-class Circular, Volume 23, 1882, p. 93
1895 -
"Any attempt to describe the rise and progress of the Royal Society of
Musicians of Great Britain would be incomplete without a reference to
the magnificent liberality of the late Mr. Thomas Molineux. This
gentleman, who had been a distinguished bassoon and double-bass player
at Manchester, invented a check action for the pianoforte, and attained
a position of affluence. In 1881 he presented the society with a sum of
1,000 guineas, the largest donation it has ever received at one time.
This was the first of a series of munificent gifts. For several years
Mr. Molineux contributed to the society's funds on a most generous
scale, and in 1888, on its 150th anniversary, he presented with £1,000.
Mr. Molineux died in February 1891, and by his death the society lost
one of its truest friends. His total subscriptions to the fund amounted
to no less than £3,150."

1875 - "INSURANCE.-HAZARDOUS
RATES.
SIR,-I was glad to see by the letter on the above subject published in your
valuable Journal last week that the extortion (for I can give it no better
name) that is being carried on by the various insurance companies is at
length being brought under the notice of the various parties concerned.
I feel certain that if the directors of the said companies would but listen
to reason, and try to consider their own interest, they would at once see
the necessity of revising their exclusive rates of insurance.
I, for one, do not insure any of my property (unless where I am obliged by
ground leases), entirely owing to the exorbitant charges attempted to be
made, and have thereby saved several thousand pounds in insurance.
If others would only act in a similar manner I have no doubt the insurance
charged on pianoforte-makers' stock would soon be reduced to a reasonable
risk charge.
Wishing Mr. Brooks every success in his laudable undertaking. I am, &c.,
THOMAS MOLINEUX."

BIO
"Molineux, Thomas, born in Manchester, September 16, 1802.
Before he became known as a pf. maker, was a practical musician. While a
youth he studied the flute, and later acquired skill on the violin, 'cello,
and doublebass. He was still more accomplished as a performer on the
bassoon, and played at the Gentleman's, Professional, and other concerts in
Manchester up to about 1850. He was officially connected with St. James's
Hall, and the Polytechnic Institution, London; and will be remembered for
his mumificent gifts to the Royal Society of Musicians. He died in London,
January, 31, 1891."

OBITUARY
1891 - "DEATH OF MR. THOS.
MOLYNEUX.
Another remarkable and valuable musician of the Old School is gone from
us—Thomas Molyneux was a native of Worsley near Manchester and by trade a
joiner- He was, however, an excellent professional musician and performer on
the Bassoon and Double Bass, a member of the Concert Hall and other bands.
He took a shop in Manchester and commenced the Pianoforte trade and was the
first to introduce the "hiring system," which under his clever business
management and great perseverance grew into vast proportions, far beyond
anything of the sort in the Kingdom.
After several years of successful business, Mr. Molyneux left the Manchester
concern in his son's hands, and went to London, where he bought the house
formerly occupied by Kean the actor, called Kean's Villa, Park Village East.
He now occupied his time in the management of St. James's Hall, of which he
was a large shareholder and director, and took an active interest in the
Polytechnic, of which he was considered the soul. He also brought out and
patented a New Piano Action which proved a considerable success.
To the Society for assisting decayed musicians he was a musicians he was a
benevolent patron, giving them £1,000 and an allowance of £100 per annum.
Mr. Molyneux was also most generous to musicians who had "seen better days,"
especially about his native place, Manchester, &c., and many will miss his
helping hand. He was an intimate friend of George Craske's the violin maker,
and had a high opinion of his instruments. He said "he deserved a monument
erected to his memory like Beethoven and all other great men, not only for
his genuis but for his indefatigable industry."
A few months since, Mr. Molyneux lost his wife to whom he had been married
over 50 years. He seemed to droop and pine after this, and on the 31st. of
January, peacefully departed this life aged 88 years, and was buried at
Brompton Cemetery.-He was in Politics a Conservative, but neither mixed up
with them, nor municipal affairs.
He was a wealthy man and leaves an only son, who at present carries on the
business in Manchester, and is much respected for his kind and courteous
disposition."

Patent of 1817 : "ISAAC
ROBERT MOTT, Brighton, composer and teacher of music, for a method of
producing, from vibrating substances, a tone or musical sound, the peculiar
powers in the management whereof are entirely new, and which musical
instrument he denominates The Sostinent Piano Forte."
The Edinburgh monthly magazine, 1817, p.
440
- or - "Feb. I, 1817. —
Isaac Mott. The Sostinente piano-forte produces a sustaining tone
through the strings being vibrated by a revolving roller, by means of
silken lines attached to them. A movable bridge presses against the
centre of the strings, and produces the harmonic octave effect by
dividing them into two equal lengths."
The History of the Pianoforte, Edgar Brinsmead,
1879, p. 201 (archive.org)
Patent of 1846 : "Isaac
Henry Robert Mott, of No. 76, Strand, pianoforte maker, for certain
improvements in (April 28.) musical instruments, whereby they are
rendered much more durable, much more capable of resisting the injurious
and destructive effects of the atmosphere (especially of extreme
climates), and whereby the quality of their tone is greatly improved and
remains good for a much longer period, 6 months. April 28."
The Patent Journal and Inventors' Magazine, Volume
1, 1846, p. 15
LONDON -
"Mr. Mott exhibits a grand, 7 ½ Octaves, F
to C, with a seraphine of 5 octaves applied thereto under the front part of
the instrument, and thus forming two claviers. A solo may be performed on
one of them, and an accompaniment on the other; or, by means of couplers,
they may both be played together."

MOTT, ISAAC HENRY ROBERT, 76 Strand — Inventor and Manufacturer. Patent
metallic cottage grand pianofortes, not liable to be affected by change
of climate or weather. Horizontal grand pianofortes, with metallic
frames, above and beneath the strings, capable of resisting change of
climate, or great tension, without interfering with the freedom or
vibration of the sounding-board. The compass is nearly eight octaves,
also an additional key-board of five more octaves, they have the notes
in unison with and an octave below the pianoforte, with an improved and
peculiar action, which, by means of small rollers, etc., produces a
quick repetition of the touch."

especially the Piano-Forte Purchaser to his extensive manufactory, to
inspect his choice production of improved Horizontal Grand, Cabinet, Cottage
Square, Grand Square, and Upright Patent Sostenente * Piano-Fortes; whieh,
from the many radical and scientific improvements he has made in them, are
allowed, by the finest Judges, to be very superior to those of the ordinary
construction.

just Expression and Brilliant Execution," price 25s.
* The sustaining powers of this universally facinating invention, continue
to be the wonder and admiration of every lover of exquisitely expressive
music, to its capability of holding the notes, ad libitum, it adds the power
of increasing or diminishing their strength, from the soft sigh of an-
Eolian Harp, to the full volume of an Organ of no mean compass; not by wind,
nor pipes, but from the strings of the Grand Piano-Forte: with the beautiful
qualities of which it does not interfere, in the slightest degree; and
requires no separate tuning."

Mott. - Mr. Isaac Henry Robert Mott is
the inventor of the Patent Sostenente Piano Fortes, which seem, in his own
unbiased judgment, far to exceed any that have been produced by our
Broadwoods or our Stodarts. According to the same indubitable authority, he
is a very great performer on those instruments ; indeed we are given to
understand that no one else can make much of them. He is likewise a composer
of a superlative class; and, in the present instance, he comes before us as
a didactic writer. So vast an accumulation of talent must needs appear very
extraordinary, and it would hardly be credible, did not Mr. Isaac Henry
Robert Mott prove the fact, that one
individual could manufacture the piano forte, perform on the piano forte,
compose for the piano forte, and teach others how to become great on the
piano forte. To this we may add, that our author seems to be the child of
delicate sensibility and fine taste. His musical knowledge is also mixed up
with divinity, metaphysics, and poetry, and is conveyed to us in a style of
English almost without a parallel. We have already said enough to prepare
our readers for a production of no ordinary kind, and we can assure them
that they will not be disappointed. At the same time they will be delighted
to observe that Mr. Mott, even in his
loftiest flights, is a man of business; has his eye constantly fixed on the
main chance; and can recommend his own admirable productions in a strain of
modesty which we should think peculiar to himself, did we not remember the
celebrated addresses of that highly respectable lady who presides over the
Moravian establishment in London. Our only wonder is—how such excellence
should have been so long concealed from public notice, either at No. 24,
Dover-street, Piccadilly, or at 92, Pall Mall. We, however, have made the
happy discovery, and we shall now proceed to lay our readers uneverlasting
obligations by giving to them all the benefit of it."
