LONDON - "15. Major Gleig claims for his upright pianos the following principal features, which are new :
1. The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which has to take the pull of the strings.
2. The sounding-board.
3. The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take too much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the piano has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those parts which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so massive, that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they appear to have been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's sounding-board possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in ordinary instruments, and the increased length obtained in the vibrating section of the string conduces to fuller and richer tone than heretofore. The coating of the hammers is of one piece of felt, and in this respect resembles the coating adopted some time since, and occasionally used by In future pianos Major Gleig will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of is construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument, he may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments, the present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not quick enough." Journal of the Royal Society of Arts, 11/10/1872, p. 890-891

"NEW INSTRUMENT. — A pianoforte upon a novel and elegant construction has recently been brought before the musical world, by Mr. W. Mardon. The instrument, which is termed the Melophonicon, is of great power and compass, and possesses a combination of excellences rarely to be found. These excellences, it would appear, are more or less ensured by some union of the principles of the harp, the symmetrical shape of which it bears a resemblance to, together with those of the piano. The inventor has already received royal patronage and a royal commission: an example which will, doubtless, be followed by many of our aristocracy, to the advantage and advancement of an ingenious and deserving individual."

LONDON - "15. Major Gleig claims for his upright pianos the following principal features, which are new : — 1. The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which has to take the pull of the strings. 2. The sounding-board. 3. The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take too much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the piano has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those parts which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so massive, that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they appear to have been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's sounding-board possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in ordinary instruments, and the increased length obtained in the vibrating section of the string conduces to fuller and richer tone than heretofore. The coating of the hammers is of one piece of felt, and in this respect resembles the coating adopted some time since, and occasionally used by Messrs. Broadwood. In future pianos Major Gleig will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of his construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument, he may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments, the present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not quick enough." Journal of the Royal Society of Arts, 1872, p. 890-891
