"R, Addison, United Kingdom, for a "Royal
Albert" transposing pianoforte."
The great London Exhibition 1851, p. 12
LONDON -
"Mr. Addison sends a transposing pianoforte (No. 467), as also Messrs.
Harwar and Towns, and Packer. Mr. Addison's principle is the most original,
the others being on plans that have been adopted by different manufacturers
for a long period."

"487 Addison, R., Eigenth. und Patent-Inh., 210 Regent Street. –
Transponirendes Pianoforte. "
Amtlicher Catalog der Ausstellung der
Industrie-Erzeugnisse aller Völker, 1851, p. 67
LONDON -
"Commencing with British exhibitors, we find
that Messrs. Addison and Co. have contributed an upright piccolo, called the
“Royal Albert transposing piano-forte.” The object sought is to transpose
vocal music, so as to suit voices whose compass would not allow of their
executing it in the original key. For example, if a song he played on the
keys as if in C, it can be made to sound either in the key of Csharp, D, E
flat, B, B flat, or A,—-i. e., in any key within a range of three semitones
above or below the original one. There are other contrivances for this
purpose in the Exhibition; but in all these, either the key-board and
action, or the strings and framing, are shifted laterally, so as to make one
hammer strike different strings, according to its position. In the present,
neither action nor strings are moveable. The keys may be described as
divided at half their length, the front and back ends being capable of
moving independently of each other, and the connection being made between
them by means of a shifting lever underneath ; so that, by altering the
position of this lever, the front end of the key C, for example, may he made
to act on the back end of either of the keys C sharp, D, B, B flat, &c. A
model of the movement accompanies the piano-forte. We cannot see that the
present contrivance has much advantage over the other plans; while it is
certainly more complicated and expensive, and must inevitably deteriorate
the touch. The transposing piano-forte is an old contrivance, having been
made by Messrs. Broadwood, under patent, thirty years ago. It has, however,
never been much used, and probably never will be. It can only be of service
to players of an inferior class; for to better musicians, having a proper
perception of pitch, it would be torture to have the fingers playing in one
key, while the ears are impressed with another."
Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851,
p. 28
LONDON -
"487 Addison, Robert, 210 Regent Street
- Patentee and Proprietor. A transposing pianoforte. This piano will
transpose music five semitones higher or lower than the written key, if
necessary. Its novelty consists in the key-board, hammers, and strin
immoveable. The internal action cannot be shifted or deranged. To make this
intelligible, the first two bars of the National Anthem have been selected,
if written thus -
can, by striking the same ivory as the
above notes represen, be immediately transposed into three higher and three
lower keys."

"Il signor Giuliano Ajello, fabbricante di pianoforti a Londre,
ha fatto dono alla Regia Accademia di Santa Cecilia di un egregio istrumento
di sua fatture. Questo istrumento, pregevolissimo per le innovazioni della
meccanica per la finezza del lavoro, è un bel saggio della valentia del
costruttore. Il signor Ajello, socio onorario della Regia Ascademia, ha
anche ottenuto il titolo di fornitore dell’Accademia stessa e del Liceo
musicale."

the county of Middlesex, piano-forte maker, for his having found out or
discovered certain improvements upon piano-fortes. - [Sealed 20th July,
1831.]"
Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences:
Being Record of the Progress, 1837, p. 235 - and - "Notice of a patent granted to William Allen,
London, Piano Forte Maker, for improvements in Piano Fortes. Dated the
20th July, 1831.
Since the introduction of cast iron frames for piano fortes,
considerable expense has been incurred in drilling the holes for, and
fitting in, the pins, by which the strings are brought to any required
degree of tightness, and considerable difficulty has been experienced in
making the tightening pins fit into the holes, so as to turn with
facility, and at the same time to preserve their position, and the
required tension of the strings. These objections to the cast iron
frames Mr. Allen has remedied, simply by casting the two dovetailed
grooves along that end of the frame where the tightening pins are to be
inserted, and driving pieces of wood of a corresponding shape to fill up
the dove-tailed grooves, and to receive the turning pins. It is evident
that by this ingenious and simple contrivance, the expense of
manufacture will be diminished, and the instruments will be improved."

scale indicator 3” and its use is to indicate to learners the notes
necessary to form the diatonic major, or minor scale, in any given key. The
rule is, commencing with the key note and ascending : —
To form the major scale, take three successive keys of the same color, and
four of the other color.
To form the minor scale, take two keys of the same color, and five of the
other.
It is almost needless to add, that this coutrivance is more curious than
useful, and cannot be intended to apply to pianofortes generally."

"Our next illustration shows the
beautiful carved oak piano exhibited by Messrs. Allison and Sons, of
Wardour Street. This elegant and finely-toned instrument is designed in
the prevailing style of Charles I., when the stiff and formal ornament
of Elizabeth had given place to a more graceful and flowing outline.
The entire design is made in accordance with the purpose of the
instrument—namely, the production of musical sounds. Kneeling angels,
playing upon harps, form the brackets for the support of the key board.
Busts of Jubul, Miriam, and David, with carved portraits of Handel,
Haydn, and Mozart, on enriched panels, form the ends; the cheeks having
busts of singing angels, surrounded with richly-carved foliage. The
lower portion of the front has three perforated panels, enriched
with'armoniiil tarings, and the monogram of the owner, and is divided by
two earyatide figures. The upper part is supported on each side by
angels, cut in full relief, playing upon harps. Above are female
figures, holding scrolls of music, which show the commencement of
"Gloria in Excelsis." The centre is divided into three panels by
richly-carved semi-detached pillars beneath circular arches, the centre
key of which is a bust of Her Majesty. The panels themselves are all
richly carved, and in the centre is St. Cecilia playing upon a hand
organ. In the side panels are angels holding scrolls in their hands,
with the legend, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace." In
the spandrils of these two side compartments are portraits, carved in
full relief, of eight of the various British warblers, the nightingale,
skylark, treelark, robin, linnet, blackcap, bullfinch, and goldfinch.
The spandrils of the arches contain cherubim. The cornice is also
elaborately pierced, so that every means has been taken to insure the
full emission of sound. The lower frieze is of foliage, with small
birds, and monogram intertwined. The large upper one is a choir of
twentyseven angels, each playing upon a different musical instrument,
from the earliest known example down to the most modern. The nameboard
is richly chased with ornamental devices, and the monogram of the owner
is again introduced in relief. "Wherever mouldings are required, they
have been elaborately ornamented. The interior of the instrument has by
no means been neglected, for three strings have been placed to each
note, and the blow given by a new patent check escapement action. We
understand that the value of this instrument is three hundred and fifty
guineas. Messrs. Allison also exhibit a fine pianoforte, in walnut-tree
and gilt mouldings, with carved pillar truss, and the new patent check
action. They likewise show their "Improved London Model" pianoforte in
rosewood. This is one of their ordinary instruments, suitable for the
school-room and boudoir. In the fret-front there are no fewer than 675
holes, and it has the patented back and wrest plank, with registered key
board. The price of such a piece of music is, we believe, £30; and for
general practice no better piano is needed. A very curious and
complicated affair is a piano. Its interior, to an uneducated eye, is a
world of strings, and pedals, and strangelooking mechanism. The strings,
stretched to the full amount of tension, give, we are told, a "pressure
of several tons;" yet such is the ingenious arrangement of the machine,
that the whole is brought into instant action by the slightest touch of
a lady's finger. Of the relative merits of the various beautiful
instruments shown on the British side, it is quite impossible to
pronounce any opinion; but if their interior arrangements are as good as
their exterior embellishments—and the power of musical sound constantly
heard in the Exhibition warrants this belief — why, then, we may well
conclude that there is assembled at South Kensington a collection of the
finest instruments in the world. The strange names by which some of the
pianos arc known will surely puzzle a non-professional visitor. For
instance, we find one cottage-piano described as "tubulated," another as
"equipollent," and a third as fitted with an anti-blocking hopper; while
a "grand" is called a microchordou, and a "square" an "iron clipper
plated," with propeller action. But all these have doubtless their
peculiar excellences."

PARIS -
"The pianos
exhibited by Mr. Ralph Alison and Sons are small instruments, and the most
noteworthy appears to me to be that styled the "Royal London Model." Its
advantages consist in its cheapness (which is attributable to the fact that
it is entirely made by machinery), and a patent action, or rather an action
original so far as regards upright instruments. In this piano the escapement
takes place (as in the grand piano) from the butt of the hammer, and a crisp
touch is obtained which is rarely found in instruments of its class. Its
price is 23l., and I consider this piano very remarkable as a combination of
cheapness and excellence."

"Lovers of music could not fail, upon
entering the music or concert hall, to be attracted by the delicate
tunes of a most ingenious and well-constructed musical instrument
exhibited by Messrs. Imhof and Mukle, called an "orchestrion." This
grand instrument was shown near the entrance to the musical court of the
Exhibition, and was one of the most striking examples of the
capabilities of mechanism for producing perfect music. On this wonderful
instrument innumerable different effects, variations, and shades of tone
can be produced; and the mechanism is so perfect that its action is
instantaneous and free from noise. The instrument in itself is most
durable, and so built as to be equally suitable either for the heat of
Calcutta or the frost of Siberia. The barrels can be easily and
conveniently removed from the front, and the orchestrion does not,
therefore, require more space than its width. The deepest notes are
placed in the centre of the instrument, so that the tuner can tune each
pipe from sides without disturbing any portion. The speed can be
regulated by an additional fly so as to give detailed effects to the
music performing. Self-acting instruments have been constructed for
centuries past, but have always borne the impression of the general
knowledge of mechanism and music of the time being. Instead of
simplicity of action, the most complicated and awkward designs were
used, and, therefore, would have better been termed motionless, instead
of self-acting instruments; but self-acting instruments are as sure to
act as Orchestrion. [...] 320 Allison, R. & Sons, 108 Wardour st.

and so on, repeated throughout the
instrument. It thus forms what is called a “ diapason (Query diatonic?)
scale indicator 3” and its use is to indicate to learners the notes
necessary to form the diatonic major, or minor scale, in any given key. The
rule is, commencing with the key note and ascending : —
To form the major scale, take three successive keys of the same color, and
four of the other color.
To form the minor scale, take two keys of the same color, and five of the
other.
It is almost needless to add, that this coutrivance is more curious than
useful, and cannot be intended to apply to pianofortes generally."

THE DRAWING ROOM
“Your mention of the music reminds me,"
said Mrs. Dempster, “of the magnificent pianofortes, now so rapidly
obtaining favour in society, which are manufactured at the great Dresden
house of M. Emil Ascherberg."
“Yes, I have heard and seen much of them of late," observed Evelyn, “and
papa is about to procure one. They are really superb, and are so constructed
as to be equally suitable to the playing of every class of music. This
result, I believe, is attained by an ingenious contrivance for producing
half-notes, and by what is known as a prolongation pedal.”
"I have had an Ascherberg in my house for a considerable time, and it is my
own opinion, as it is that of all my guests, that no better instruments, for
all the purposes of a piano, can be produced. The simple fact that the high
qualities of Emil Ascherberg's pianos are recognised and acknowledged by the
leading musicians of Europe renders commendation here unnecessary."
"I visited the London depôt of the firm in Baker-street with some friends
the other day,” said Olivia, “and we found the instruments there as
beautifully artistic in construction as rich and perfect in touch and tone." The
Drawing room, 03/1882, p. 768
LONDON
-
"Messrs. E.
Ascherberg- and Co., of 71, Queen-street,
City, and Baker-street, W., exhibit pianofortes
from the already well-known factories
of Emil Ascherberg, Dresden. The
pianoforte has become an indispensable piece
of furniture m our English homes, and is now to be found in almost every
house, from the mansion to the cottage. But although the manufacture of
these beautiful instruments, started on these shores not much more than a
oentury ago by German mechanics, has led to such successful results by
English makers, It would be idle to pretend that we have surpassed or
equalled our continental friends in the production of pianos. Mr.
Ascherberg claims the advantage of a long
experience in the designing and construction of pianofortes that may be
justly awarded him. The instruments that we have seen at his warehouse (some
of which are on show at this exhibition) warrant their thorough and
impartial recommendation. We understand that his magnificent and brilliant
toned "concert grand " is to do duty at the afternoon concerts at the Hall,
which will afford our readers the opportunity of endorsing our opinion."

"ASCHERBERG PIANOS. - "I only
perform an act of justice when I ascribe my successes to a great extent to
the excellent Instruments from your factory, on which I was favoured to play
before the public. Remain convinced that I shall at all times and everywhere
give preference to your Pianos over all others, and accept the assurance of
my unbounded esteem. Respectfully, VLADIMIR VON PACHMANN."

first commencing in the City, and subsequently removing to Regent Street.
Not long ago the firm transferred their head-quarters to the larger and more
commodious premises they now occupy in Berners Street. The show-room
accommodation here is of a superior character, and affords facilities for
the display of a splendid stock of pianofortes of the renowned “Ascherberg”
make.

(continuation)
These are shown in “cottage” and “grand”
styles, of nine different models, and the instruments have been acknowledged
by many eminent authorities to be “the very essence and epitome of all that
is sound, good, and true in the productions of the most renowned makers in
the world.” Among the many distinguished musicians and virtuosi who
have highly commended the “Ascherberg” pianos may be named the
following:—Franz Abt, Sir Julius Benedict, Signor Bevignani, Mr. J. H.
Bonawitz, Mr. F. H. Cowen, Sir Charles Halle, Rafael Joseffy, Tito Mattei,
Vladimir de Pachmann, Dr. Hans Richter, M. Camille Saint-Saens, Senor
Sarasate, Xaver Scharwenka, etc. Moreover, the “Ascherberg” pianos have been
repeatedly used by the leading pianists of the day at the Monday Popular
Concerts, the London Ballad Concerts, the Crystal Palace Saturday Concerts,
the London Academy of Music, the Guildhall School of Music, the London
Conservatoire, and at all the principal concerts and training institutions
on the Continent. They are essentially high-class pianos at a
reasonable price, and as such they have few rivals and no superior. Messrs.
Ascherberg’s factory is one of the most important industrial establishments
in Germany. As music publishers Messrs. E. Ascherberg & Co. are also widely
known, and this department of their trade has assumed very large
proportions. It includes the old-established music publishing business of
Messrs. Duncan, Davison & Co., which Mr. Ascherberg purchased a few years
ago, and amalgamated with his own undertaking.
The firm own a very large, comprehensive, and valuable list of music
copyrights, embracing the best works of the most esteemed composers for the
pianoforte, organ, violin, harp, and voice. Great
enterprise is shown by Messrs. Ascherberg in obtaining possession of
important novelties, and in this respect they are always among the first in
the field. For example, they have secured the English rights in Mascagni’s
two remarkably successful operas, “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “L’Amico
Fritz,” which they publish in vocal and in pianoforte score. Similarly they
hold the copyright in “Philemon et Baucis,” Gounod’s beautiful pastoral
opera; and also in “Djamileh,” a fine opera by the late Georges Bizet,
composer of “Carmen.” Messrs. Ascherberg’s music catalogues are very
exhaustive, and will be found particularly rich in good compositions for the
voice, the violin, and the harp, as well as for the pianoforte and other
keyboard instruments. We ought also to mention that this firm are the
publishers of several new and extremely popular operettas and burlesques,
including the well-known favourites, “Miss Decima,” “Cinder-Ellen up too
Late,” “Blue-eyed Susan,” and the great Gaiety successes “Faust up to Date,”
“Ruy Blas and the Blase Roue,” and “Carmen up to Data.” Messrs. Ascherberg’s
trade is widespread, and their connection in musical circles at home and
abroad is both extensive and influential. Mr. E. Ascherberg, the sole
principal, personally directs the business, and it is to his energy and
sound judgment that its marked success and advancement are due."

FIRE
"20 July 1822 [...] Same day. - Astor and Co. musical-instrument makers, in
Tottenham-street, were entirely consumed by fire."
Monthly Magazine, Or, British Register, Volume 54,
1822, p. 85 - and - "20.—Saturday evening a fire broke out in the
premises of Mr. Astor, piano-forte manufacturer, Tottenham Street,
Tottenhamcourt Road. It was supposed to have been occasioned by a lighted
candle communicating with some of the shavings. The fire for some time raged
with much fury, but, by the timely arrival of some engines, and a speedy
supply of water, many of the adjoining premises were saved, particularly a
coach manufactory at the back, which was but slightly injured. Some small
tenements were destroyed, but the fire having broken out so early in the
evening prevented much mischief, and probably saved some lives."

AVERY John |
Patent of 1786 :
“NEW MUSICAL INVENTIONS. The
combination of the organ with the Piano Forte, so as to be played by the
same keys, is an invention but of a modern date. The merit of the discovery
is claimed by a Mr. Avery, an organ-builder, and it has been successfully
carried into execution by Mr. Ganer, Longman, and Broderip, and other
eminent instrument makers. Whether the union of two instruments so opposite
in their nature can ever be brought to perfection is doubtful, it being the
peculiarity of the one to rise a little in pitch while the other falls. –
Its excellence, however, principally depends on the Piano-Forte standing
well in tune. The organized Piano Forte is undoubtedly an ingenious and an
useful invention, if the imperfection we have stated could be removed; but
as the instruments may be played separately, it is a desirable acquisition
to a small room. It presents a handsome appearance, and occupies but a very
little more space than a small Piano Forte.” Source : 5 scrapbooks of
material relating to Vauxhall Gardens, consisting of cuttings, songs,
plates, posters, leaflets, &c., 1712-1847, réunis par James Winston, Oxford,
