GLASGOW - "The
Kastner Autopiano makes a highly effective appeal to eye and to ear. The
combination Autopiano, which plays both full compass and sixty-five note
music, is a feature of the exhibit and indicates a noteworthy
development in these well known instruments. To meet the exigences of
the occasion, the holes in the tracker bar and in the paper had to be
reduced to one half the usual size; but the difficulties imposed thereby
in the way of faultless tracking have been successfully overcome by the
patent automatic music guide which ensures absolutely perfect tracking.
The Kastner Reliance motor is a great improvement on the earlier three
valve type and struck the writer as the finest that he had ever seen for
smooth working. Other points to which reference deserves to be made is
the silent revolution of the music roll and of take-up spool and the
complete control which the operator has over the expression, not
entirely by the mechanical assistance of handles and levers but largely
from his own musical sensibility expressed through the pressure of the
feet on the pedals."

for so many years at Highbury Corner, at the age of sixty-three. Mr. King's
father was in business as a musicseller in the Upper Street, Islington, and
Mr. Lovett King carried on the business he established at Highbury for
twenty-nine years until he disposed of it to Messrs Saville. The decaesed
gentleman was much esteemed as a teacher of singing and as an accompanist,
and these occupations he kept up till a week of two before his death.
Locally his services were much in demand as a singer of humorous songs."

Patent of 1836 : "Wheatley Kirk, of Commercial-street,
Leeds, music-seller and manufacturer of piano-fortes, for certain
improvements in pianofortes. May 14 ; six months."
The pianoforte, its origin, progress, and
construction, Edward F. Rimbault, 1860, p. 155 - or -
"A.D. 1836, May 14. — N° 7094. KIRK, Wheatley. — Improvements in
pianofortes. The invention consists primarily, fundamentally, and
chiefly in the introduction of a double sounding board, and a complete
metallic frame or support. The patentee rests his claim to originality
on a new application and an invention, because as in the old system of
manufacturing pianofortes "there was not a possibility of introducing a
double sounding board for want of space,he substitutes a metallic frame
for the ordinary wooden supports, props, or uprights, thereby leaving
the interior entirely or sufficiently free for the insertion of a double
sounding board. The sounding board is enclosed on all sides, similar to
a violin, and in the form of a case. It is uniform in its thickness or
depth of unoccupied space. It is free and independent of any direct and
attached connexion with the frame into which it fits, thereby being in a
state of release from the injurious effects to which the sounding boards
on the old construction are subjected by the immense pull of the
strings. Three apertures are cut in the sound board shown in the drawing
for the same purpose as the sound holes in the violin."

BIO
"Kirkman, Jakob (de son vrai nom Kirchmann), fondateur de la fabrique de
pianos « K. and Sons », de Londres, etait d'origine allemande et arriva à
Londres vera 1740. D entra comme ouvrier dans l'atelier de Tabel, où
travaillait aussi Shudi (Tschudi), le fondateur de la maison Broadwood K.
épousa la veuve de Tabel et laissa à sa mort, en 1778, une grande fortune.
Ses pianos à queue (« harpsichords ») étaient très renoromés. K. n'ayant pas
d'enfant, ce fut son neveu Abraham K. qui hérita le commerce de pianos,
dirigé aujourd'hui encore par un descendant de ce dernier, Joseph K. Le «
melopiano», inventé par Caldera, et consistant en une percussion des cordes
répétée à intervalles très rapprochés au moyen de petits marteaux spéciaux,
fut employe avec succès par K. et fut l'une des solutions les plus
ingénieuses du probleme de la prolongation du son, au piano."

MANUFACTURERS, 187, Tottenham Court-road, London, beg to call the attention
of Nobility, Gentry, Professors. Sec, to their
THREE UNISON OBLIQUE
PIANOFORTE, Compass. 7
octaves, which is admitted to be equal to Three Unison Horizontal Grand, and
more powerful and brillianttoned than any Cottage or Boudoir Pianoforte
offered to the Public. It is built with iron bars, metallic plate, superior
double action, and improved soft pedal, which avoids the shifting of the
action, so that the tone, although soft, is not feeb'e. These instruments are
of elegant construction, and are silked and fluted behind, and so finished that they may be placed in the centre or in any part of the drawing-room.
TWO UNISON OBLIQUE
PIANOFORTE. Compass. 6
7/8 octaves, of the same construction, and with the same action as the
above.
SEVEN OCTAVE COTTAGE PIANOFORTE, With double action and improved soft pedal.
Ditto, 6 7/8 octaves.
PICCOLO PIANOFORTES,
Compass, 7 and 6 7/8
octaves, with C. Knoll's newly-invented double action and improved soft
pedal. As to the quality of the material and workmanship of this Pianoforte,
C. Knoll begs to refer to his long pFactical experience, acquired during a
period of twenty years in the first and best Manufactories, as Foreman,
Finisher, and Regulator; also to his having Finished the Grand Pianoforte
exhibited by Messrs. Erabd at the Great Exhibition in 1851; and prepared all
the Models of Actions submitted by Messrs. Erard to the examination of the
Jurors on that occasion, as well as superintended all the important branches
in the manufacturing of their instruments. — Established 1852."

"G. A. KOLLMANN'S NEW PATENT PIANOFORTES.
THE novel features which characterize Mr. G. Kollmann's Horizontal Grand,
Horizontal Square, Upright Grand, and Upright Semigrand PianoFortes, consist
not merely in Improvements of One, or several of the various parts of which
the Instrument is composed, while the Principles according to which it has
hitherto been formed are retained, but in the application of superior
Principles of such a nature, that these Pianofortes receive a new and
improved construction in all their departments, obtaining by simple means
the best results, namely in — Quality And Quantity Op Tone —Standing In Tune
— Facility of Tuning — Good Touch — External Form — And General Durability.
The new qualities of the Horizontal Grand Pianoforte, may be briefly
described as follows : —
1. The Hammers and Mechanism are placed Above the String, so that the
Hammers Strike Down on the Strings Towards the Bridge and Soundboard. It is
by this mode of action alone, that tone of the finest quality and greatest
power is produced. In the usual Grand Pianofortes the Mechanism is placed
Under the Strings, and the Hammers strike them Upwards, Away from the Bridge
and Soundboard.
2.
The Stringing and Soundboard have qualities by which the Quantity of tone
in the Instrument is increased.
3. The entire Plan of Tuning is New, and rendered a mathematical operation,
regulated with Ease and Certainty, by means of Screw power. Hence the
Pianoforte can be tuned with exactness and facility. It stands firm in tune,
and the strings can be renewed as often as may be desirable, without the
mode of fixing them being lessened in security. i. The Mechanism is Simple,
and acts with the least possible friction and resistance. The results of
this arrangement are : 1. A good and easy touch, enabling the performer to
produce every variety of expression and execution with facility — 2.
Durability of the action's original state. 3. New features of Outline of the
Pianoforte, by which it is rendered more Convenient and Elegant. The four
Classes, of Mr. Kollmann's new Pianofortes, possess the qualities of the
Horizontal Grand, therefore, although varying in form and dimensions, they
all have the Grand Pianoforte Tone.
The above Pianofortes are to be seen at No. 21, Old Bond Street.
Class.
1.
Horizontal Grand Pianoforte, of 6 ½ Octaves, in Rosewood, with massive
Ornaments and feet of new design, &c. carved in solid Rosewood.
2.
The above Pianoforte in every respect, but of Mahogany.
3. Ditto Rosewood without extra ornament.
4. Ditto Mahogany.
5. Horizontal Square Pianoforte of 6
½ Octaves, three strings to each note, in Rosewood Case, ornamented, and
with solid Rosewood feet, lyre, &c. The same Mechanism as in the Grand
Pianoforte.
6.
Ditto in Rosewood, Plainer.
7.
Ditto in Mahogany.
8.
Ditto Ditto with two strings to each note.
9. Upright Grand Pianoforte, 6 ½ Octaves, in every point the same as No. 1, in Rosewood. The elevation ot new
design, with massive feet and ornaments of solid Rosewood.
10. Ditto in Rosewood, without ornaments.
11. Ditto in Mahogany.
12. Upright Semigrand Pianoforte, 6 ½ Octaves, in Rosewood, with solid plinths and feet, three strings to each
note, and the same mechanism as in the Grand Pianoforte.
13. Ditto Ditto in Mahogany with two strings to each note."

"Mr. G.
Kollman's Pianofortes. — The
first Pianoforte was a simple instrument, the happy improvement on the
harpsichord which suggested itself to the fertile mind of Gottlieb Schroeder
rather more than a century ago. Many improvements have since been effected,
for some of which, performers have been indebted to scientific men in no
wise connected with the profession; thus the covering the base strings with
wire, we owe to the suggestion of a literary gentleman attached to the
British Museum; and we doubt not that pianists are equally indebted in a
similar way for many other valuable additions to the mechanism of this
delightful instrument. The imperfection
of the pianoforte exists in the fact, that its strings are not
immediately acted on by the finger, or in other words, the mechanism
attached to the ivory note is but inadequately adapted to obey the every
varying and delicate impulses which agitate the mind of a finished performer
and well educated musician. Much however has been effected; and much more
appears to be attempting, a result which may probably be ascribed in some
measure to the visits of the wonder-working professors of the new school of
pianoforte composition — Thalberg and Doehler. The music now written for the
instrument, demands great power of tone — and of that quality which will
travel through a large and crowded room; a simultaneous grasp of distant
intervals, and a rapid enunciation of each note. Mr. Kollman, by his
invention, professes to have added improvements in regard to each of these
attributes. He states that he has gained the finest quality, and the great power of tone by certain peculiarities in the sound boardssion, and affording the utmost scope to a
facile execution. By a novel arrangemant of the screws, Mr. Kollman reports
himself to have arrived at a purer intonation, and this attained by the
simplest means. On Monday a numerous audience assembled in the Hanover
Square Kooms to witness an exhibition of the advantages which these
instruments are understood to possess. Mr- Kollman performed on the occasion
a sonata of his own composition, a concerto and grand trio by Beethoven, and
(with Miss Hippon) the adagio and finale in Hummel's duet in A flat. He was
assisted by Mrs. Bishop, Miss Birch, and Miss F. Woodham, vocalists; by
Messrs. Blagrove, Hauseman, and others, instrumentalists. We shall inspect
and try for ourselves Mr. Kollman's inventions; and shall then announce our
opinion of their merits. At present, it will be seen, we entirely withhold
any expression either of approbation or the contrary."
