LONDON - "Imhof & Mukle, 54,

The International Exhibition of 1862, p.
107
DUBLIN -
"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 perfectly as other machines, [...][...]"

"BERTRAM
ISON'S Trade Chat on OVERSTRUNG PIANOS. - The New Season is now starting and
the up-to-date Dealer is naturally wondering what is going to be the Seller.
It is well known that the English manufacturers are far above what they were
in the manufacture of Overstrung Pianos and the tendency of the general
public is more and more for English Pianos made by Englishmen for
Englishmen.
Bertram Ison & Co. have anticipated this demand and are producing a high
class English Overstrung Piano at a Moderate Price. The tone and touch are
perfect; case work, polish and general finish equal to the best foreign
instrument; and the success has been instantaneous.
