"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 The portable grand, in its day, was a successful and desirable instrument, but has long since been superseded by instruments of the kind called kit grands, boudoir grands, pocket grands, and semi grands."

1879 - "Mr. Hanson will this week move into his new premises, 7, Wigmore Street, where he has, besides handsome show-rooms, a miniature hall capable of holding about 150 people. It is possible that this hall may be lent for recitals, pianoforte réunions, &c., to professors. Mr. Hanson has received from Messrs. Blüthner, of Leipzig, an extra full-sized concert grand on the "aliquot" system, constructed for an English gentleman. This instrument is upwards of nine feet long, it is of the "aliquot" construction through out, and its treble has, besides the usual trichord, two "aliquot" strings, both tuned an octave higher than the note itself. It is a really fine instrument of exceeding sonority and, at the same time, delicacy of tone, and apparently of the most finished workmanship. Messrs. Blüthner intend, we are informed, to henceforward make only two sizes of "aliquot grands, the one the extra size, 9 feet, and the other 6 ft. 4 in. long." Music Trades Review, 15/03/1879, p. 15

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 :

(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 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."

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."

BIO-ADV

1890 - "Stephen Hartley, Patent Pianoforte Maker, Mount Works, 8, Mount Street, Halifax. - An important branch of musical instrument industry is that of the maker of pianofortes, and in connection therewith a well-known house in Halifax deserving honourable recognition amongst these sketches is that of Stephen Hartley, whose premises, known as Mount Works, are situated at 8, Mount Street. This business, which is the foremost of the kind in town, was founded thirty-two years ago in King Cross Lane, by Mr. Hartley, the present proprietor, who has occupied Mount Works for the last nine years. These include a large front shop and show room, which, occupying a prominent corner position and having an attractive frontage, forms a familiar landmark in the locality. The works proper occupy the spacouis floor above, and are aquipped in the first-rate style with all the most approved, and some special, appliaces for making and repairing pianofortes. An important invention by Mr. Hartley, and patented by him two years ago, is the "Patent Steel Combination Back Piano;" and this instrument having been highly approved of by eminent judges, has found great favour with musicians all over the country. For many years this house has been famous for the pianofortes turned out, and in 1882 Mr. Hartley carried away the medal at the Halifax Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition, for the excellence in his manufacture of pianofortes. This, and the renown won by his patented instrument, maintains an extensive demand, to meet which a large number of pianos are kept in the handsome showroom, where there are also some for lending on hire, and some of other makers which have been taken as part payment in exchange for his celebrated instruments. Besides the brisk trade carried on in making pianos a large business is done in tuning and repairing, the business connection being very extensive, and reaching all over the country. Mr. Hartley is a frank courteous gentleman, widely known in the trade for his practical skill and powers of invention; and he is much respected by all with whom he meets in or out of business."

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." Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851, p. 34

HAWKINS John Isaac  

Patent of 1806 : "Description of several Improvements on Lathes. Communicated by Mr. J. J. HAWKINS, in a Letter to the Editors. With an Engraving. GENTLEMEN,
HAVING experienced much inconvenience in the first establishment of my piano-forte manufactory for want of several little contrivances to expedite the making of certain parts of the instruments, for which no tools in common use would well answer, and having lately attained many useful improvements for those purposes, through the ingenuity of some of my friends and workmen, I beg leave to send an account of a few of them for insertion in your valuable Repertory, since they may in all probability prove useful to manufacturers in other branches of business; at least, if not in their present form, they may serve as hints for farther improvements.
My avocations will not at present allow me to describe more than two or three; I shall therefore select such as appear to possess most merit.
My method of tuning piano fortes with screws, each working a sliding piece of brass, to which the string is fastened by means of a hook, required that the hook should be an inclined cylinder, formed out of the sliding piece. This was performed with files, and took considerable time; but by the ingenuity of the workman, M. Chartier, a native of France, who had these pieces to make, I now get the inclined cylinders cut in the turning lathe in a very short time.
To make the tool, a piece of steel is fixed in a chock in the lathe, and a conical hole turned in the end of it; the smallest diameter being outward, and equal to the size of the cylinder wanted. The angle the side of the cone makes with its axis is equal to the required obliquity of the cylinder. The end of this tool is cut like the teeth of a saw, the sharp edges of which are in a plane, perpendicular to its axis.
An inclined plane, parallel to the side of the conical hole, is fitted at the front. A frame containing the article to be cut slides down this inclined plane, when by the revolution of the tool the oblique cylinder is formed, leaving the part surrounding the base quite flat.
A, Fig. 3, (Plate XVII.) is a perspective view of the piece, having the inclined cylinder. B a perspective view of the tool represented as broken off from the lathe a, the end having the conical hole and its face cut into teeth, like a saw or coarse file, either in radii, as at D, or tangents of a circle, not larger than the hole, as at C. E perpendicular section of the whole apparatus. tool; b the oblique cylinder in the piece c; da screw, to keep the piece firm in the frame; e the frame which slides on the inclined plane f.
It is evident on inspection, if the tool a be turned, and the frame e pushed against it, that an oblique cylinder b will be formed. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the frame must be guided down the inclined plane so as to slide quite steady, or the cylinder will be irregular.
My mode of tuning piano fortes also required that I should cut a number of oblong transverse apertures, in a piece of brass about three feet long; to do which I fixed a small circular saw on a long rod in the lathe, but this throwing the saw so far from the treadle, made it necessary to employ two persons. For this inconvenience my father contrived an ingenious remedy: he put the saw on a short mandril, fixed on a puppit, standing obliquely from the axis of the lathe, so that a line produced from this mandril would pass entirely clear of the pulley of the lathe; this small oblique mandril is turned from the mandril of the lathe by an universal joint; the most approved one for the purpose is a hook and eye.

b the collar of the lathe.
c the universal joint.
d the small mandril.
e the cutter or saw.
f part of the frame which supports the small mandril. the long piece of brass in which are the transverse apertures.
Much time is lost in turning a number of small articles on two centres, with all the common methods of fastening the centre head or sliding puppit of lathes, in consequence of their requiring the workmen to stoop, every time he tightens or loosens it, the fastening being at the bottom.
Numerous advantages, however, arise from having the fastening at the top of the puppit. This method I had from an ingenious Englishman in Philadelphia, but since my arrival in this country, seeing the plan not used by the first-rate lathe-makers, I conclude it is not known here; for I am sure no man would use a lathe fitted in this way, for a few hours, without decidedly giving it the preference; and I think, while on the subject of lathes, that a description will be of use.

d the tightening-nut, with an arm about three or four inches long.
e an iron plate screwed to the top of the puppit, to act as a washer to the nut. This plate must be sunk into the wood till the arm of the nut requires to be turned to the off side, in order to tighten the puppit, because in that situation it is out of the way of the workman.
So soon as I have leisure, I intend describing some more of these little contrivances; which, although they appear trifling, may nevertheless be of considerable importance to manufacturers.

The makers - who have been established since 1886 - now occupy a substantially built, lofty and light three storeyed factory (at Lampeter Street, Shepperton Road, N., over which building we were conducted the other day. The premises are close to Southgate Road and not far from the Essex Road, Islington, tube station. On the top floor of the factory FRENCH and English pianos, according to a the backs, bellies and parts are made, the consular report, had formerly a good sale in middle one being reserved for the fitters up and finishers; the ground floor is used by the fly finishers, the tuners, and for packing purposes. The polishers have a room to themselves and there is a large yard for the stacking of timber, as also good accommodation for the storing of metal frames and actions (of which we saw there were hundreds on view); in fact there are two store rooms as well as a veneer room. Lastly, there is sufficient office accommodation, including telephonic communication (1075, Dalston)." Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, 01/11/1909, p. 140

OBITUARY

1910 - "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."

BIO-ADV

1890 - "Hemingway & Thomas, Pianoforte Manufacturers and Music Sellers, 11 & 13, Northgate, Halifax. - This representative house, whose name is also identified with a large and important pianoforte manufactory in Victoria Road, Kentish Town, London, opened its Halifax establishment at the above address about twenty-five years ago. The business has always been carried on under its present title, but the sole proprietor now is Mr. W. Hemingway, who personally supervises all the operations of the concern, and very successfully administers its affairs in the important trade in which it is engaged. The premises in Northgate, Halifax, comprise a large and exceedingly handsome ground-floor showroom, with two flats above, containing nine other rooms, all of which are devoted to the accommodation and display of as fine a stock of pianofortes as can be found in the county. There is room here for no fewer than 75 instruments at a time. At the back part of the premises is situated a well equipped workshop, entirely devoted to the execution of repairs in pianos and harmoniums; and there are two offices in the establishment, one for the Halifax business, the other dealing with the affairs of the factory in London. The firm also hold the largest and most complete stock of sheet music in this district, and have a great reputation as a reliable source of supply for all the newest publications, as well as for every standard work of a musical nature. The "feature" of the business par excellence, however, consists in the fine pianofortes manufactured by Messrs, Hemingway & Thomas at their own works in Kentish Town, London, N.W. These instruments have a distinct and most creditable status and reputation in the musical world, having earned their eminent position and renown by a continuous manifestation of sound qualities and constructive merits during many years of publicity; and it is no exaggeration to state that they are equal in touch, tone, and "singing power to any manufactured. Their instruments rank among the standard productions of the trade and are in ever-increasing demand, being sold by all firstclass dealers throughout the country. They will exhibit to the best advantage the technical and musical skill of any artiste, and have already won five prize medals for excellences which are recognised and acknowledged by the most competent authorities. Mr. W. Hemingway, the head of this house, has the valuable assistance of a most competent foreman and executive staff, but he himself is a man of far more than ordinary ability and practical skill in the trade. He can make a piano, tune it, and play it in first-class style; and his inventive faculty and thorough command of the science of pianoforte manufacture are well manifested in the numerous constructive improvements he has devised and introduced in to his instruments. As a musician he is well known. His compositions in dance music are general favourites, being always bright, original, and full of movement; and he has won especial notoriety as the composer of probably the most popular schottische of the day, that named "Coringa." Mr. Hemingway was the pioneer of first class dance music in Halifax, and was, we believe, the first to encourage in a practical way the cultivation of string bands in this district. In short he is an artiste "to his finger ends" in a very literal sense; and, being self taught entirely, his skill is of the most practical kind and his success is due wholly and solely to his own inborn talent and capacity. Many of the best known musicians in Halifax and neighbourhood received their tuition under Mr. Hemingway, and he is justly proud of the achievements of his pupils. We should add that Messrs. Hemingway & Thomas apply the hire purchase system to all their instruments. The commercial operations of the house of Hemingway & Thomas extend all over Great Britain and also to the Continent. Valuable connections are everywhere maintained and the house is held in high confidence by all its customers. In such transactions there is every satisfaction to be derived from dealing with a firm of such sound standing and honourable repute as the one we have herein briefly noticed."

1893 - "MAKING a hurried call at Messrs. Hemingway & Thomas's, of Kentish Town, last month, we were not surprised to hear that a fall in their trade was anticipated; although the manager informed us that, up to the month of March, full time had been maintained. For the benefit of our country readers we append a short description of a couple of pianofortes which were in evidence as we conversed with this gentleman. Class IV. (a semi-oblique) is 4ft. 5in. high, and contains a three compartment top door, with a fine looking moulding round each partition. Inside the mouldings is an inner border of marquetrie work, which gives to the panel a superior appearance. Class II. (a vertical) is a handsome instrument, with inlaid bracket trusses. Both models have extended gilt frames (fitted with stud bridges, and with the particlars of the firm's five prize medals vast thereon), as also the highest kind of actions and keys. The pianos are full trichord, and are made in the best of walnut." Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, Volume 16, 01/04/1893, p. 432

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.

BIO-ADV

1890 - "E. W. Heywood, Pianoforte and Organ Repository, 12, Haymarket Street, Bury. This popular house was established by the present proprietor in 1865, and for the past twenty-four years has been carefully conducted. The saloon is handsomely appointed and contains a large and well-selected display of pianos by all the celebrated makers. Those by Collard, Broadwood, Kirkman, Brinsmead, Hopkinson, Justin Browne, &c., are often conspicuous. Mr. Heywood's vast experience enables him to place before the public instruments of the best possible kind in their respective classes. A particularly good selection, however, is found in Estey, Bell, Bridgeport, and other wellknown organs, and the trade and connoisseurs will find this line will well repay a visit of inspection. The principal is also the sole agent for the district for Hemingway & Hemingway & Thomas's high-class pianos, which are offered at such quotations as to place the charm of music in every home at a comparatively trifling cost. The highest testimonials can be seen at this house recommendatory of these famous pianos. A large trade is carried on in tuning, in which important branch of musical science satisfaction is guaranteed to all customers entrusting their work to Mr. Heywood, who who holds holds the the appointment appointment of tuner to the Athenæum and Co-operative Experienced workmen are also at hand to renovate and re-cover old and neglected pianos, which are turned out of hand almost equal to new for all practical purposes. Mr. Heywood also holds the appointment of organist and choirmaster of St. Paul's Church, Bury, and has been engaged for thirty years as a teacher of the organ and pianoforte, in which capacity he is highly respected by the musical élite of the town. The clientèle is numerous and composed both of the higher class of patrons, and of the very numerous respectable families of artisans with which the town abounds."

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."

BIO-ADV

1890 - "Albert Hind, Importer, Dealer, and Practical Tuner of Pianofortes, American Organs, &c., 16 and 18, Waterhouse Street, Halifax. The large and influential business carried on by Mr. Albert Hind was established in 1879 by the present proprietor at North Parade, and in consequence of its rapid development and the necessity for increased accommodation, the extensive and commodious premises now occupied were acquired some six years ago. These comprise a large and wellconstructed building of three storeys, situated in a commanding corner position: on the ground floor is a large and handsome shop with an exceptionally fine plate-glass frontage of fully sixty feet. The premises also contain spacious and well-appointed showrooms on the first floor, together with extensive warehouse accommodation, workshop, and office. The establishment, in fact, is one of the most complete in the provinces, and contains a very large and comprehensive stock of musical instruments of all kinds, classical and modern music, and musicians' requisites, &c., including many beautifully made and highly finished pianos, American organs, harmoniums, concertinas, harps, banjos, guitars, and other string and wind instruments by the best makers, both English and continental. The concertinas vary in price from 2s. 6d. to £15 15s., and the organs from £5 5s. to seventy-five guineas. The pianofortes, with iron frames, from 16 guineas, include instruments by such eminent makers as Collard & Collard, Cramer & Co., Challon & Son, Justin Browne, George Russell, &c., with several specialities, as Metzler's organo attachment and George Russell's simplex transposing piano, &c. Mr. Hind is enabled to give exceptional advantages both in quality and price, being a cash buyer and having one of the largest and most varied stocks of musical instruments in the United Kingdom. A very important feature of his business is the three-years' system of purchase for pianofortes, harmoniums, and American organs, which he has now carried on with increasing success for the past eleven years. The method adopted and conducted by him is certainly the most fair and liberal yet introduced, enabling as it does all classes to become possessed of first-class instruments on equitable terms, without being charged exorbitant prices, as is not unfrequently the case in some systems. The tuning of pianofortes, &c., either by contract or otherwise, is undertaken, an efficient staff of experienced men being regularly employed. ->

Mr. Hind has also a branch establishment at 69, Commercial Street, Batley; which is equally well appointed and stocked as the Waterhouse Street warehouse, Halifax. The business in every department receives the direct personal attention of the proprietor, and is conducted with marked ability, energy, and enterprise. Mr. Hind issues monthly a handy, chatty, little journal of sixteen pages, entitled, Albert Hind's Household Journal. This will be found to be well illustrated, and to contain short stories and articles of general and local interest, and besides directs attention to some of Mr. Hind's leading specialities. The Household Journal may be had gratis on application. Mr. Albert Hind possesses the advantage of long and thorough practical experience. He is well known and highly respected in Halifax, and widely recognised as an enterprising and courteous man, with whom it is pleasant and profitable to have business transactions.

Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, Volume 18, 01/07/1895, p. 666

1909 - "MESSRS. E. HIRSCH & Co. have had a most interesting letter from Messrs. Schiedmayer & Soehne. It appears that the Waikare had one of this firm's pianos on board. Our readers may perhaps remember that the Waikare was an Australian steamer with a company of tourists aboard which recently became totally wrecked on the west coast sounds of New Zealand. Passengers and crew were stranded on a lonely island; and, with an idea of providing some amusement while in this terrible predicament, they decided to bring the piano off the wreck, hauling it up the face of the cliffs and setting it down in the wet bush. It remained in this position exposed to the weather until the Challenger rescued the shipwrecked crew and the Monra brought the piano to Dunedin.
The instrument is being exhibited by Messrs. Charles Begg & Co., who say that, while the case is terribly damaged, the interior is no wise the worse for the ordeal through which it has passed. Apart from the interest which accompanies such an unusual occurrence, Messrs. E. Hirsch & Co. naturally take great pride in the thought that a Schiedmayer & Soehne piano can without deterioration withstand such exceptional treatment."

 "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."

OBITUARY

1909 - "The Late Mr. A. Dixon Holloway. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Arthur Dixon Holloway of St. Ives, Hunts. For four years afflicted with paralysis, death released him on April 2nd.
Born at Wallington in Surrey in 1832, Mr. Holloway developed strong musical abilities at a very early age. He was educated at and later on became precentor of St. Mark's College, Chelsea. He arrived at St. Ives in 1854, taking up the duties of national school master and organist on the parish church, having at the time but a few shillings in his pocket. In 1856 the business (now Holloway & Son) was founded (to a general local shaking of heads) and was subsequently, with dogged determination, built up into a large concern.
Mr. Holloway devoted the whole of his life to his profession and the proceeds of the business to the thorough education of his six children, who all survive him. It is a noteworthy fact and one almost without parallel that these are all professional musicians, the four sons are organists and well known men; the two daughters, most accomplished pianist and violinist respectively. The early training of these children was under the care of his devoted wife, herself (even now) a wonderful executant. - Mr. Holloway himself was a disciple of Hullah and his thorough bass system and was an intensely hard-working man; indeed, never once absent from his post during the thirty-five years that he remained organist of the parish church, much of the time without recompense and even having to supply the music free. The only recreation in which he indulged was fly fishing, at which he was quite an adept; but considered himself indeed fortunate if he obtained one night per week for less than three months in the year." Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, 01/05/1910, p. 596

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."

BIO-ADV

1890 - "George Holt, Pianoforte Manufacturer, Baltic Bridge, Waterfoot, near Manchester. - Mr. Holt, of Baltic Bridge, Waterfoot, near Manchester, commenced business there, as a pianoforte dealer and repairer, in 1877, and so great encouragement did he receive during the next seven years that in 1884 he erected a handsome block known as "Rossendale Pianoforte Works," and began the bonafide operations of manufacturing instruments on his own responsibility. Full of enterprise and enthusiasm, Mr. Holt claims to include all that is most valuable in his productions, culled from the failure and triumphs of pianoforte construction during recent years. His great specialité, however, is the "Rossendale Model" pianoforte, which, without the slight desire to exaggerate, deserves to be recommended as a good-looking, well-made, high-toned, and thoroughly useful instrument, in fact, the premier piano of the day. It is strongl strongly recommended by the musical profession, profession and is offered at a price ice that will favourably compare with other makers. American organs and harmoniums, new and second hand, are kept in stock and can be had on the hire-pur hire-purchase system. Repairs of all kinds are executed with the utmost dispatch, re-silking, re-polishing, re-stringing, re-covering hammers, &c., the very best workmen being engaged for this branch of the business. ->

OBITUARY

1910 - "Death of Mr. Edgar Horne. - IT is with much regret that we have to record the death of this well known Derby musicseller, which sad event took place with painful suddenness on April 26th. Mr. Horne had been unwell for a few days, but had been attending to business as usual. On the day of his death be was at his music shop in the Strand. On returning home to lunch he collapsed on the threshold of his house and died within a few minutes from syncope. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow and five sons and four daughters to mourn his loss. Mr. Horne, although not a Derbyshire man, had long resided in the county. He was born in London in 1852, but left the metropolis in his boyhood. In 1867 he was apprenticed to Mr. George Orme, who had music shops at Derby and at Burton. The young apprentice soon displayed great aptitude for his business, for in about twelve months (viz., in 1868), although he was then only sixteen years of age, he was entrusted with the sole management of the Burton branch. In 1877 he set up for himself in the Market Place in Derby. He became a member of the town council (as one of the representatives of Derwent Ward), after a severe contest, in 1892, being afterwards elected to the chairmanship of the parliamentary committee. On November 9th, 1900, he was unanimously elected as mayor and chief magis trate of the borough. Mr. Horne thus entered upon a busy and eventful period in national as well as in local history. A proof of his popularity among his colleagues in the council was given in May, 1901, when the vacant aldermanic seat (caused by the death of Alderman Doherty) was conferred upon him. We understand that the business will be continued as usual." Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, 01/06/1910, p. 665

WESTMINSTER - "No. 193, an instrument by T. Howell, piano maker, 66, Warwick Road West, Paddington, is simply a copy of a portion of the zither; it is defective in the stopping, and the strings do not clear the finger-board. So far as we can judge from the instruments exhibited, we are of opinion that it is better for working men to confine themselves to their own trade, as it is unwise for the man who labours as a bricklayer during the day to begin to work in wood at night, although as a recreation it may sometimes be advisable, when a decided talent is shown, for an amateur to find change of labour, if he only starts with the right principles of construction, in some other sphere of labour which is more compatible with his taste. He may turn out work to his own satisfaction, but he cannot hope to compete satisfactorily with those who zealously study and keep to their own craft. We do not wish to depreciate the exertions of any exhibitors, but merely make a suggestion which will doubtless be of some service and practical utility to them."

LONDON - "An upright cottage, of a peculiar shape, called the “Lyra piano-forte,” is exhibited by Messrs. Hund and Son. The back of the instrument is intended to be turned towards the centre of the room, and is formed like a lyre, with openings covered with silk ; the object being to throw the sound outwards. The piano stands on a raised platform or sound conductor, into which the bass strings descend, and which also elevates the stool for the player. There are three pedals, the additional one being a soft one, on the French principle, viz., introducing athickness of soft cloth between the hammer and the string."
