"The upright piano-forte was, doubtless,
taken from tho upright harpsichord, and we have always understood that it
was the invention of an Englishman of the name of Hancock, a musical
instrument maker resident in some part of Westminster. He was a man of much
ingenuity, and produced several varieties in keyed instruments; amongst
which we find the organised piano-forte, the portable grand piano-forte, and
an instrument, also a pianoforte, in the shape of a spinnet. The portable
grand, in its day, was a successful and desirable instrument, but has long
since been superseded by instruments of the kind called kit grands, boudoir
grands, pocket grands, and semi grands."

"Far superior to what are
frequently Sold for Twenty-five Guineas each.
Being the Grandell and molt Advantageous Plan ever offered TO THE PUBLICK.
LONDON: Printed for Harrison- and Co. No. 18, Paternoster Row; and Sold by
all other Booksellers, Stationers, and Newsmen, as well as at most Musick
Shops, in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and America.*
AND A-PIANO-FORTE, worth Twenty-five Guineas, GRATIS. [...]
WHEN the high Price of a good
Piano-forte is considered, and that trie extravagant Hire of the molt mean
and indifferent Instrument, is always at lead Half a Guinea or Twelve
Shillings a Month, to say nothing of the prodigious and continual Expence of
Musick Books, whether borrowed or bought, it is prefumed that Half a Crown a
Week can never be thought a very serious Sum for the Advantage of becoming
Owner of an elegant and excellent new Piano-forte, as well as a more select
and compleat Library of such sterling, favourite, and fashionable Musick, as
will always be esteemed valuable, than can easily be purchased at any Price.
Of the Beauty and Agreeableness of a Piano-forte, as elegant ornamental
Furniture for the mod splendid Apartment, no Person can be ignorant! and
even in the few genteel Families, particularly in the Country, where there
may not be any convenient Opportunity of learning to play, the Pleasure and
Satisfaction of possessing an Instrumemt so valuable, with Books of all the
most favourite Vocal and Instrumental Pieces, ready for occasional Visitors,
must be highly gratifying to every Person of Taste and Sensibility. By means
of the Piano-forte Magazine, this Satisfaction will now be easily
attainable, at an Expence scarcely felt by any Person in decent Life: and we
may venture to suggest, that it will form a valuable and lasting, as well as
a most elegant and agreeable Present, to all young Ladies, and Gentlemen,
from their Parents, Relatives, or Friends, who may thus have the Pleasure of
seeing them the sooner induced to undertake the Acquirement of so pleasing
an Accomplishment as the enchanting Art of Musick.
Even those Ladies and Gentlemen, who already have Instruments of their own,
will find this Work worthy their Attention :
|
'Pianoforte-manufactory' ca. 1 797
(continuation)
as the Musick it contains will alone, in
general, coil less than Half the common Price; besides that the
Piano-Forte will not only be new, but far superior to any they can
already possess; and to Perlbns who have both Town and Country
Residences, and only one Piano-Forte, it will prove peculiarly
convenient and agreeable. [...] In short, they have too much
Property at stake, in this grand, important, and unprecedented
Undertaking, not to make the Piano-forte Magazine, in every Respect,
well worth the Encouragement which they earnestly solicit from a liberal
and decerning Publick. The Specimen Instrument, which has been tried by
some of the first Judges, is pronounced one of the very belt
Piano-fortes they ever touched; and those already delivered to
Subscribers, arc allowed by themselves and Friends, to excel even the
Specimen itself. Letters to this Effect, from some of the most
respectable Characters in the Kingdom, may be see a at the Publishers.
N. B. The Nobility, Gentry, and Others, who may be desirous of posessing
their Piano-fortes earlier than the regular Courle of Publication, are
respectfully informed, that Messrs. Harrison and Co. having compleatly
established their new Manufactory, can immediately deliver them, on
receiving the entire Subscription."

HARRISON Edward |
LONDON -
"Messrs. Harrison & Co. exhibit an
upright piccolo, called the “utilitarian boudoir piano,” and made with
the object of constructing a piano-forte at the least possible cost: the
price of this instrument being eighteen guineas only. To effect this,
several alteration shave been made. In the first place, there is only
one string to each note; secondly, the keys are shorter and project
less, by which the legs or scrolls usually put under the key-frame are
saved ; and, thirdly, the action consists of a simple projection at the
end of the key, which lifts the tail of the hammer directly, without the
intervention of any hopper. It is in fact a return to the primitive
single-action, with which the piano-forte was first made; the only
difference being the variation in form necessary to apply it to the
upright instrument. Although advocating cheapness, we cannot consider it
desirable to obtain it by depriving the piano-forte of the improvements
it has received, or by any other means calculated to deteriorate its
quality."

"JOSEPH HART - MANUFACTURER of
Improved Cabinet, Cottage, and Square Piano Fortes, Seraphines, Ac. 109,
Hatton Garden, London.
J. Hart respectfully invites the Public to inspect his improved
Piano-fortes, which, from their peculiar construction, produce a tone not
surpassed by those of any other maker; they are manufactured in an elegant
form, of the best and wellseasoned materials, and are offered at a very
reasonable price for ready money. Every instrument is warranted.
THE SERAPHINE. Having paid particular attention to the manufacture of this
useful instrument, J. Hart presents it to the Public as the most perfect of
the kind; its defects have been remedied, particularly those of not replying
to the touch, and also the difficulty nf supplying the wind, hitherto so
much complained of. The action of the bellows is now rendered so easy, that
it may be worked without the least fatigue, while the varied qualities of
tone, de. licate and soft, or powerful, at the pleasure of the performer,
renders It capable of giving effect to an y Organ Music, and it will be
found equally adapted either for the Church, Chanel, or the Drawing Room."

HARWAR Joseph |
LONDON -
"A cottage upright, by Mr. Harwar, has the
power of transposing. The framing, carrying the sound-board and system
of strings, is detached from the case, and is capable of being moved
laterally upon rollers, by taming a screw at the side. When the frame is
shifted more or less to the right, the key C will strike either B, B
flat, or A, according to the distance through which it is moved; or, by
shifting it to the left, the same key will strike C sharp, D, or D
sharp, and so on. This piano-forte has also metallic bracing at the
back, to counteract the pull of the strings."

HEINS
Nicholas & Co
(ca. 1839 - 1909)

OBITUARY
1909 - "Death of Mr.
Nicholas Heins, we regret to announce the decease of this well known
Hereford musician and music dealer last month. Deceased, who for some time
bad been ailing, was in his seventieth year.
Nicholas Heins, the son of an old Broadwood man, was born in London.
Articled to Mr. R. G. Wesley for the organ; chorister in Chapel Royal ; at
fifteen entered Broadwood's for pianoforte making but did not relinquish
music, being organist successively of several churches and chapels. Mr.
Heins was also organist to the Tonic Sol-fa Choral Society, meeting under
Mr. Thomas Gardner, in Tottenham Court Road in the sixties; in this official
capacity he frequently played on the great organs in Exeter Hall, St.
James's Hall, the then fashionable St. Martin's Hall and the Royal Albert
Hall. In 1863, he married Miss Donaldson, youngest sister of Mr. (now Sir)
George Donaldson. It was in 1871 that Mr. Heins settled down in Hereford; he
had purcbased Ebenezer Child's old music business on the latter's decease.
That the new proprietor, fresh from London, made many innovations in the
sleepy old shop may be imagined. The aim of the newcomer was to supply none
but the best class music and musical instruments. Acting on this policy with
plenty of tact and industry, Mr. Heins soon acquired an enviable reputation.
He was appoipied organist of St. Nicholas Church, in Hereford, in 1872, - an
office which he held so about thirty years. During the temporary absence of
late Dr. Langdon Colborne, Mr. Heins many times deputised at the organ in
Hereford Cathedral. As is well known to all his acquaintances, Mr. Heins was
gifted with the bump of melody and he also had the advantage of hereditary
talent in music and in languages. His musical compositions are numerous,
comprising both sacred and secular works. As an instrumentalist, he once
seriously took up the violoncello; he was a facile and a brilliant player of
the pianoforte, a very good extempore player and a sympathetic accompanist.
It goes without saying that these gifts were invaluable in his business. A
firm friend, Mr. Heins will be greatly missed."

'Pianoforte-maker' and prodessor of music, ca. 1 838-55
Born in Scotland in 1789 and died in
London 1869. (Musical
Scotland, 1894, p. 80)
A pianoforte-maker GUNTHER had the same
address in 1841 as HEWITT :
6, High Street, Camden Town
HALL William, her above, worked in 1843
for him. And also
BONNEY Edward worked in the years
1841-43 for him.
"Daniel Hewitt, for instance, lost twelve
thousand pounds in a few years through attempting to introduce a
down-striking grand piano, known as the "camel-back" from its peculiarly
ungainly appearance in a patent dated December 16, 1854, neproposed
affixing a wrest-plank and bent side (the two parts that together carry
the strings) to the brickor stonewall of an apartment, so as to avoid
the necessity for constructing costly framework, with strong bracing to
resist the tension of the strings, between which and the wall he placed
his sounding-board."
History of the Pianoforte, Edgar Brinsmead,
1879, p. 137

"About fifty years ago there appeared two curious works on the theory
of music; one by an Englishman, Mr. Daniel Chandler Hewitt, a professor
resident in London, and the other by a Spaniard, also resident in
London. Mr. Hewitt's book passed out of sight, for his engraver ran off
to America with the rare and expensive plates, and thus the
dissemination of his theory was stayed until the production of a new and
enlarged edition, which came out in 1864. [...]"

1909 - "DURING a
storm last month, lightning struck the premises of Messrs. Newsome Bros. at
Ravensthorpe, causing damage to the factory by fire. But we would
particularly inform customers and the trade that the Hilton & Hilton factory
(which adjoins the building alluded to) was not damaged either by fire or by
water, the flames being confined to Messrs. Newsome's veneer room, drying
room, back making and bellying room. The large stock in the Hilton factory
of finished pianofortes (including all models) was entirely untouched, so
this will enable the firm to execute all orders as usual. Further, their
seasoning sheds are fully stocked with dry materials and the this will
enable them to carry on business with little or no delay. Mr. H. Cottam is
the proprietor of both the Hilton & Hilton and the Newsome Bros. businesses,
but they are carried on in separate factories."

"The visitor to Hull cannot fail to be
impressed with the size of the wholesale and retail places of business,
conspicuous among which may be mentioned the establishment of MR. J. W.
HOLDER, in Whitefriargate. Upon entering the premises we were startled at
seeing the enormous stock of musical instruments. Fiddles for 10,000
performers; pianofortes for all Yorkshire. Orpheus would seem to have made
Hull his head-quarters. We have alluded to violins and pianos only, but
every kind of musical instrument may be found in this temple of the muses,
which is eminently worthy a place among our pictorial embellishments of what
may be seen and appreciated at Hull."

LONDON -
"18. Mr. Holman is a maker who has evidenly
received a suggestion from early instruments. His octavo piano reminds one
of the quality in tone of that of the harpsichord, excepting that, in the
latter instrument, the strings were set in vibration by the catch of a
quill, and in Mr. Holman's piano they are struck by a hammer. The action of
the pedals enables a performer to procure the ordinary tones of the piano,
or to add the octave throughout á voluntáte. Some years since, Messrs.
Kirkman made a few octave pianofortes."

LONDON -
"The display of musical instruments on
the British side of the building and the second shows a patent concert
grand, with all the modern is very complete. Having already referred to
these, however, we now merely introduce representations of two fine
pianos, manufactured by Messrs. John and James Hopkinson, of
Regent Street. The first engraving
is of a cottage grand, with carvings in the Italian style;
and the second
shows a patent concert grand with all
improvements. This is inclosed in a
case- of admirable workmanship
walnut, inlaid with ivory,
tulip, box, and king woods, exquisitely
carved. But it
is not to their cases that pianos owe their chief excellence. "Without
tho interior mechanism be of the liret oUfig, all the decoration in the
world would render them but boxes of worthless discord. In the pianos of
Messrs. Hopkinson — who has not heard them at the Exhibition discoursing
"most excellent music," under the guidance of highly-educated fingers ?
— the outside ornament forms but the least part of their value. True,
they are fine pieces of furniture; but they possess a far higher value,
for they are famous musical instruments. To hear them well played is a
treat for a professor, much less a mere musical amateur like the writer.
In tone, touch, and all the requisites of first-rate pianos, they are
perfect — fitted alike for the concert-room or the cottage parlour —
brilliant, full, and at the same time delicate, and calculated in every
respect to sustain the high reputation their makers have so long had
with the musical world. The valuable improvements in the manufacture of
pianofortes lately introduced have all been taken advantage of by the
Messrs. Hopkinson, the resources of whose establishment enable them to
compete, not only in excellence, but also in economy of production, with
the best makers in the trade. To go to the Exhibition on a Saturday, and
to hear a fantasia on one of these instruments, is a treat indeed; and
when we come to consider what a complicated piece of work is the
interior of a piano — the strings stretched to a tension equal to a
pressure of several tons, and yet one faulty wire putting the whole
machine out of order — when we think what ingenious appliances arc
necessary before these strings can answer to the light touch of a
woman's finger — when we see that all the ends for which such an
instrument are fully answered, and we find the English piano a
highly-finished and complete box of harmony, our wonder and admiration
may well be excited. To say that these instruments are as perfect as
they can be made, is to say all that can be said of any piano yet
manufactured: to compare them with the instruments of other eminent
makers is simply futile. Among the best there can be no better."

"To Messrs. Hopkinson (United Kingdom, 8412) the Jury award a Medal for great
excellence of tone and invention of a pedal for producing the harmonic
octave.
Messrs. Hopkinson xhibit seven pianos, namely :—
1. A full-sized concert grand, in elegantly inlaid walnut
case. The action of this instrument is on a peculiar construction originally
patented by this firm in 1850, and since considerably improved; the last
patent bcing dated in the present year. The ordinary hopper is dispensed
with, and its place supplied by a kind of knee-joint. Messrs. Hopkinson have
found this action work well, and it gives a good touch, but it has not yet
been adopted by any other makers. Models of the new action are exhibited in
its original form, and its various stages of improvement.
2. A similar grand, but in plainer case.
3. A boudoir, or short grand.
4. A rosewood boudoir grand, having a highly novel feature in the shape of a
harmonic pedal. This contrivance is so arranged as to allow a frame to
descend over the strings, and to drop a light knife-edge of felt exactly in
the middle of their length, by which, when the hammer strikes, the tone of
the harmonic octave is produced, instead of the fundamental note of the
string. The effect is pleasing, and the arrangement so ingenious as to
justify favourable notice; but it is necessarily expensive, and must be of
doubtful general utility.
5. An upright in elegantly carved case.
6 and 7. Two upright pianos; one of which is constructed to sell at a
moderate price, and the other with a new arrangement of the hammer-shaft,
compensating for difference between horizontal and upright pianos."

"7. Messrs. Hopkinson's grand
pianoforte is
fitted with a new action, termed
“Hopkinson's patent grand
pianoforte action.” It is considerably
less elaborate than that of Messrs. Erards,
and, in the present instance, the touch is well balanced, and secures an
instantaneous response. 8. One of the first necessities for obtaining an
evenly toned piano, seems to be that the frame-work shall be of such
construction and strength that the various degrees of thestrings' tensions
shall not unequally affect it. Perhaps the next necessity is that there
shall be a firmness at the point whence the vibrating portion of the string
starts. To. obtain this, makers fit the brass studs over which the strings
pass on to the iron frame-work. This operation requires much care, and
makers —particularly German and American makers — are liable to permit the
strings to be too closely connected with the unyielding and comparatively
non-communicative iron framing. Hence the tone of the strings becomes hard
and metallic. Some may consider such tone a desideratum. In Messrs.
Hopkinson's iron bijou grand the higher notes have rather a uality of tone
similar to that above referred to. Messrs. Hopkinson show other instruments;
one, an upright piano, made for tropical climates. The weight of this
instrument is inconvenient, and the price (200 guineas) unnecessarily made
high by ornament, which is called the style of Louis XVI. The framework
seems well adapted to insure an inappreciable
affection by rapid variations of temperature. The bijou
pianoforte, £25, by. Messrs. Hopkinson,
is fitted with an unchecked action, and the
hammers are apt to rattle. The tone of this instrument is somewhat weak and
uneven."

Fire At Messrs. J. And J. Hopkinson's Pianoforte Manufactory. — A most
extensive conflagration occurred on Saturday night, and lasted till
Sunday evening, in the manufactory of Messrs. J. and J. Hopkinson,
situate in Diana-place, Newroad. The origin of the fire could not be
ascertained. The premises were partially insured in the North of England
and County fire-offices. Messrs. Gray and Davison's organ factory
narrowly escaped. The end of the Gothic roof of their organ loft having
caught the flames, several engines were at once directed to the spot,
and, luckily, the building, which was full of organs, in various stages
of completion, was saved."

In our last week's impression we
mentioned the extensive fire that took place at the pianoforte
manufactory of Messrs. Hopkinson, when nothing was left standing but the
walls. These on the eastern and western sides were of great height, and,
being unsupported by the walls on the north and south sides, in
consequence of the ravages made by the fire, presented a most
threatening appearance to the neighbouring houses. On Thursday morning
the wind blew so strongly that the wall at the eastern end of the
premises fell, and crushed in its fall three small houses and buried the
inmates in the ruins. They were rescued, however, though some of their
injuries were of a fatal, and several were of a serious character."

They’re unsurpass d in dulcet tone, By those of others' make, And ’twas
for this that they alone Did the palm in Paris take.
For six long years they strove, nor strove in vain, Perfection of their
