GARLAND
W. M. |
"Piano-forte Manufatory and Music
Warehouse, Clumber Street, & May-Pole Yard, Nottingham. W. M. GARLAND,
Piano-Forte Maker and Music Seller to His Grace the Duke of Rutland.
Respectfully invites the attention of the Profession, and Public in
general, to an improvement he has recently made in UPRIGHT PIANO-FORTES,
by which the Touch remains the same when the Damper-Pedal is in use, as
without. This has been a desideratum in this description of Instrument
for Years, as its capability of expression depends in a great measure on
the weight of Touch remaining the same under all circumstances (and for
which Messrs. Collard have obtained a Patent in the Horizontal
Instrument). The Touch of these Instruments is now equal to that of any
that can be produced in the Trade, and entirely obviates the objection
to the generality of Upright PianoFortes, namely—want of expression.
There are several other advantages accruing from this Action, as a
necessary consequence of the Construction, amongst which, its extreme
durability is not the least prominent.
The Tone does not require a word of comment;—the SoundNess Of Materials,
Durability Of Construction, Capability Of Staying In Tune, and. in fact,
every thing requisite to constitute a good Piano-Forte, cannot be
surpassed, and will be warranted in the most unequivocal manner.—Mr.
Garland is induced to be thus explicit, in consequence of several
instances having recently come under his notice of warranted Instruments
having been returned as defective and inferior.
Besides the above, W. M. Garland has on Sale an extensive Assortment,
consisting of SEMI-GRAND, MICHROCORDON, GRAND Square, and all other
kinds of Piano-Fortes, by Broadwood, Tomkison, Collard, &c., and as his
Instrument may be fairly tested against these, an opportunity is given
of forming a correct judgment of their merits, and affording to the
Purchaser a saving of from 15 to 25 per Cent.
Instruments of every description for Hire, and Repaired or Tuned in Town
or Country; Bought, Sold, or taken in Exchange.
A NUMBER OF Second-hand piano-fortes - In thorough Repair, at very
Reduced Prices.
Any Instrument Sold at this Warehouse exchanged within Six Months, if
not approved.—Every other Article in the Music Trade on the lowest
terms."

GODWIN John
| GOODWIN |
Patent of 1836 :
"To John Godwin, of Cumberland-street, Hackney-road, in the county of
Middlesex, pianoforte-maker, for his invention of an improvement in the
making or constructing of pianofortes.— [Sealed 8th March, 1836.] This
invention is, arranging the strings of a pianoforte in two distinct series;
that is, placing such of the strings as constitute about the first three
octaves in parallel lines along the instrument, and the remainder of the
strings in parallel fines at acute angles transversely of the former; the
object being to afford, what the Patentee calls, a more open scale to the
strings.
The strings are distended in the usual manner, but the frame and bridge of
the upper series of strings must be about a quarter of an inch higher than
that of the lower series; and the sounding board must be cut away, and
supported by iron pins, at such parts as shall be required for letting the
hammers through.
The advantages of this arrangement are, that the upper or treble strings can
be made of greater length by being placed transversely, and consequently,
their tones improved.
As this plan of arranging the strings applies to upright pianofortes, and to
other denominations of such instruments, it is unnecessary to point out
particularly the way in which such strings should be fixed, as that will
depend in a great measure upon circumstances; and as to the striking parts,
or what is called the action, such constructions may be employed with
striking upward or downward, as may be desired, that constituting no part of
the invention.—[lnrolled in the Inrolment Office, September, 1836.]"

FIRE
1825 -
"Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, a fire broke out in a verr
extensive building, opposite to the Southampton Arms, Camden Town. The
premises were the property of Mr. Gould, the pianoforte manufacturer, and
were newly built, together with a smaller house adjoining. A very large and
valuable stock of woods, of various kinds, had been removed to the premises
a few days since, and business was to have been commenced there next week.
Some workmen who had been employed in finishing the interior, had left but a
short time, when flames were seen bursting from the ground floor window, and
spreading with immense fury over the entire floor. Messengers were
despatched to the different engine stations, and an ample supply of water
was sonn turned on from the Hampstead water works, but even if all the
London engines bad been on ike spot, it would have been impossible to
prevent the entire destruction of the factory, so furious was the fire. In
seven or eight minutes the whole premises were in one blaze, and in a short
time after, nothing but the outside walls were left standing. The fire
communicated to the private dwelling of Mr. Gould, and soon reduced it to
the bare walls. The fire is said to have been caused by the workmen leaving
some embers in a grate which they had used to heat their glue."

"MISCELLANEOUS. Testimonial To Mr.
D'almaine.— Last week Mr. Mackinlay gave a dinner in Soho-square to a number
of gentlemen connected with the musical profession, who had subscribed
towards a testimonial which was presented on the occasion to Mr. D'Almaine,
the eminent music publisher, on his retirement from business after a period
of fifty years. The testimonial, which consisted of a very elegant
candelabra, was presented by Sir George Smart, in a very neat address to Mr.
D'Almaine, who acknowledged the honour any kindness conferred on him, in a
very feeling manner. In returning thanks, after his health had been
proposed, Sir Henry Bishop spoke in the warmest terms of Mr. D'Almaine's
kindness to him from his earliest musical career; and he gave instances of
the little acquaintance theatrical managers, in general, had with music;
[...]; but on strong remonstrances being made, they were, at the eleventh
hour, allowed to be sung. Need we add how universally popular these three
fine compositions became. Professor Taylor, in proposing Mr. Mackinlav's
health, paid him many compliments lor his taste and talent, and wished him
prosperity as the worthy nephew of a worthy uncle. [...], and the evening
passed off most delightfully; and. to Mr. D'Almaine, it must have beeu
highly gratifying to leceive, at the hands of so many old friends and
associates, such a memento of their respect and esteem."

BIO
"GREEN (John) is a native of Preston,
in Lancashire, where his father still holds the office of treasurer to the
corporation, and other respectable appointments. J. Green showed a talent
for music early in life, and soon took a part in the amateur concerts of his
native town. Becoming acquainted with the celebrated Yaniewitz, who at that
time had just embarked in the music trade in Liverpool, Green was prevailed
on by him to enter into partnership, and open another warehouse in Preston,
which he did with much success; subsequently closing it only for the purpose
of superintending the concern at Liverpool, on account of Yaniewitz having
entered into some engagement in London. Green resided at Liverpool during
six years, when he accepted proposals from Messrs. Clementi and Co., to
travel for them in the musical line; in the course of which duties he became
acquainted, in Ireland, with Logier, the author of the new system of musical
tuition. From this time, Greencontinued Logier's most intimate friend,
giving him assistance in forwarding his new plans of instruction, wherever
he could be useful, and soon had the satisfaction to induce several
professors from Edinburgh, Liverpool, &c. to go over to Dublin for the
purpose of making themselves acquainted with Logier's improvements. When S.
Webbe proposed to introduce the new system in London, Green, having retired
from Clementi's on account of being unable to arrange a partnership, entered
into an agreement with Logier, for the patent of the chiroplast, and the
copy-right of all the works then published, or afterwards to be published,
appertaining to his system. He also arranged and managed the affairs of
Logier's first academy in Bedford-place, until the whole was in regular
train, when his own academy was opened in Soho-square, where he still
continues to teach according to Logier's principles. At the same place he
has also established a depot for various ingenious inventions, viz.: the
metronomes, or musical time-beaters, of Maelzel, to whom he has been
appointed agent; secondly, for various descriptions of improved musical
slates and metallic tablets; thirdly, for double pencils, (slate and
black-lead) also corresponding obliterators, half of sponge and half
india-rubber. As an author, Green's principal work is a translation, with
copious additions, of Massimino's method of teaching singing in classes. He
has further composed some ingenious vocal and instrumental music for
learners, also several songs and glees."

"The Royal Seraphine, a new musical
Instrument, invented and manufactured only by J. Green, 33, Soho-Square. Those who are really desirous of
receiving information regarding this extraordinary instrument will not
consider this prospectus too long; to convey any adequate idea of it in few
words is impossible. The sound is produced on a principle never before thus
applied to musical purposes; the nearest approach to it, though at an
immeasurable distance, being the Jew’s Harp, the musical Snuff Box, and a
small Chinese instrument. It is but justice to acknowledge that the first
idea of its application was communicated to Mr. Green at Manheim, in
Germany. A baker, of a musical and mechanical turn, had worked some time in
secret, and had made some progress in an instrument which he would allow no
one to see: his death, however, occurred a few days before the visit of Mr.
Green, who was permitted by the family to inspect the work, in which he
discovered a very ingenious, but very rude attempt, to Produce musical
sounds by means somewhat similar. Since that period more than seven years
of uninterrupted perseverance and incessant labour have been required to per
fect and combine all its advantages as now accomplished, and which will
insure to the Seraphine a distinguished and permanent station in the
catalogue of musical instruments. The Organ, from the grandeur of its
effects, has ever been placed at the head of the list; but, its deep
majestic tones being produced by pipes of very large dimensions, its
enormous bulk prevents its being employed, except in large public buildings;
and it is impossible, upon that principle, to construct an Organ of the
desired depth of tone within the dimensions convenient for domestic
purposes. It will be understood that the sound [...][...]"

LONDON -
"A horizontal piano-forte, by Mr.
Greiner, termed, we suppose, a bi-chord grand, but which is in reality
unlike any instrument hitherto made, calls for special remark. Its
strings lie in two planes, slightly inclined to the horizontal, and to
each other, and intersecting at the front end of. the instrument; their
farther ends opening out into something like the shape of a trumpet. The
idea of the inventor is, that this shape will throw the sound out
horizontally, and make the instrument better heard than on the ordinary
plan; but we cannot think that any advantage of this kind will
compensate for the awkwardness of the form, and the difficulties
attending its manufacture. A second novelty in this instrument is what
the inventor calls the unison method of tuning. One wire forms the two
strings of each note; it is looped at its two ends to two adjoining pins
in the string-plate at the back of the instrument, and its centre is
turned over a cylindrical stud at the front. This front stud is capable
of being moved backwards and forwards by a screw, by which the two
halves of the wire are tuned simultaneously. In order to adjust the two
strings to a unison, the front cylindrical stud is moveable round its
centre by means of a lever, which gives the power of tightening one half
of the wire and slackening the other, until a perfect unison is obtained
: of course this method of stringing is not applicable where three
strings are used. A third novelty is in the action, called a repeating
check. It is a means of producing the repeating power by a small tongue
of leather attached to the check, and jointed, so as to move upwards
with perfect ease, but to offer resistance to motion in the contrary
direction. By this arrangement the hammer is allowed to rise without
obstruction ; but when it tends to fall, it is held up by the leather
tongue till the hopper engages, and thus the repetition is secured. This
is one of the simplest contrivances for the purpose we have seen. Mr.
Greiner also exhibits a model of a new method of stringing, by which two
strings are made to vibrate by a blow given to one only, on the same
principle as the synchronous vibrations of the two arms of a tuning
fork."

"LE TROMBO-PIANO-FORTE, PAR M. GREINER (DE LONDRES). Cet instrument a
bien la forme d'un 'piano. Il en a les accessoires, les touches en
ivoire; mais voilà tout.
Pas de cordes, pas de table d'harmonie, et des conduits comme ceux du
trombonne des instruments à vent, une construction analogue à celle du
porte-voix, voilà ce qui le constitue. L'inventeur a cherché à appliquer
à cette machine nouvelle le mécanisme du langage, l'action même de la
langue. Au moyen de touches qui communiquent avec des tuyaux
d'aspiration : ces tuyaux sont combinés de telle sorte que l'air qui est
introduit dans cette espèce de tromnette dont on voit l'orifice sur le
côté droit du dessin, vient produire les sons que l'on obtient des
instruments à vent ordinaires. Si cet appareil peut réussir, on en
comprend toute l'utilité. Ce serait ajouter au charme des instruments à
vent la précision du piano; ce serait unir la sûreté des touches à la
beauté des sons qui peuvent, en se prolongeant, donner à la musique
toute l'expresion que la limitation bornée des touches ne saurait
ajouter à l'arpège harmonieux du piano-forte. On a déjà, en France, fait
faire de grands progrès, dans celle voie, aux piano-forte. Nous avons
décritdans notre dernier numéro les efforts tentés avec succès par M.
Debain sur son orgue; il n'y a plus de grandes difficultés à vaincre
pour arriver à établir une corélalion harmonique entre les instruments à
corde et les instruments à vent. Les procédés combinés de nos fabricants
et de ceux de Londres, résoudront le problème, tant l'intérêt de ce beau
travail consiste à donner à l'instrumenta touches un son qui ne soit pas
limité."

"We have a curious-looking instrument in
the Grand Exhibition, by M. Greiner, professed to be constructed on the
principles of the speaking-trumpet, and with an application for tuning
the unison at one operation. There is much ingenuity displayed in this
construction, but we do not perceive the advantage to be gained by the
tone issuing from the sides of the instrument; and although it would be
very desirable to tune the unisons as a single string, as it would
obviously save one-half the labour, we are afraid it is not so
effectual, but that it requires regulating; and as one wire will always
stretch more than another, a tuning-pin to each string seems preferable.
This instrument being the first of the kind made, the inventor will, no
doubt, improve upon it."

strings of the note are adjusted to each other by an additional apparatus

reqnircd note by screwing the frame. The plan ma be etfective, but seems
complicated and expensive, an experience is wanted to determine its utility.

GURNEY
GOLDSWORTHY |
Patent of 1825 :
"To Goldsworthy GURNEY, of Argyle Street, Hanover Square, in the County
of Middlesex, Surgeon, for his Invention of an Improved Finger-keyed
Musical Instrument, in the use of which, a performer is enabled ... to
hold or prolong the notes, and to increase or modify the tone at
pleasure.
| THE peculiar feature of novelty in this invention, is the adaptation
of musical glasses to a piano-forte, or other keyed instrument instead
of strings. The patentee proposes to place within the case of a cabinet
piano-forte a
series of glass tubes of different lengths, in vertical positions; or
glass goblets, or bells of glass, within the case of a grand or square
piano-forte, in such situations as may be most convenient for the
purpose of being played upon aecording to the form of the instrument,
and to pass a ribbon or band something similar to a violin bow, over
some parts of the surfaces of these glass vessels, in order to effect a
vibration, and cause the glass to produce a musical sound.
(see next  ) |
'Musical Instrument
Maker' ca. 1825
(continuation)
The construction of these
improved instruments may be varied according to circumstances, and which
is in some measure left to the ingenuity of the manufacturer, the
invention consisting in the employment of glass vessels for the
production of sound, instead of strings, in a musical instrument with
keys, upon the plan of a piano-forte. The patentee, has however, set out
a certain disposition of mechanism to effect the object, and upon which
plan an instrument has been constructed which is said to produce musical
notes of a peculiar and exquisitely melodious quality. [...]" Reed more
