pianoforte maker, MONINGTON, James, of 32a, William St., N.W., pianoforte
maker, WESTON, John, of 32a, William Street, N.W., pianoforte maker.
Improvements in bracings for pianoforte backs. What we claim as new and
original is the manner in which the wood and metal is combined to form the
bracings for the pianoforte, which support the frame upon which the strings
are stretched; the manner in which the combination is effected is by taking
a bracing as at present used, only shorter than the full length required,
and making up the full or proper length with metal, which ia made to receive
the end of the bracing, and screwed to it, and which we claim to form a
perfect compensating bracing, the temperature acting contrarywise on metal
and wood, heat contracting wood and expanding metal, cold contracting metal
and expanding wood, which preserves the pitch of the instrument completely."

"The importance of the jurisdiction conferred upon justices of the peace by
tho above act, and the number of cases which are likely to be brought under
their consideration, make it desirable to direct attention to the view taken
of the act by one of the metropolitan magistrates. Two summonses wero lately
taken out before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Mr. Thomas Rolfe, under the 0th section of
tho act, by which it is enacted, in terms, that any person who, after the
31st December, 18G3, shall have sold an article having a false trademark,
shall be bound, upon the application of the person whose trade-mark ah all
bo counterfeited, to give full information in
writing of the person from whom he shall have obtained the article, and of
the time when he obtained the same; with power to the justices to summon the
person refusing to give the required information, and to inflict a penalty
not exceeding 5?. for such offence. The first summons was against Mr. Kelly,
an auctioneer, for having unlawfully refused, after demand made, to state
how he became possessed of three piano-fortes which he had sold, bearing the
trade-mark of the complainant, Thomas Rolfe. The facts elicited upon the
examination in chief and cross-examination were as follows : — Previously to
the year 1854, the complainant carried on business in Regent-street, in
partnership with his father and brothers, as piano-forte manufacturers. In
that year they dissolved partnership, and the complainant continued to carry
on business on his own account in Regent-street under the style or firm of
"Rolfe, Regent-street," or "Rolfe & Co., Regent-street." This trade-mark, it
was alleged, was used by complainant to distinguish his piano-fortes from
those manufactured by his father and brothers, who carried on business under
the style or firm of "Rolfe & Co.,
Cheapside." In 1858, the complainant became bankrupt, and he had not carried
on business in Regent-street from that date. Since 1858 he had made and sold
pianos at Manchester for about three years with his trade-mark "Rolfe & Co.,
Regentstreet," upon thein, the necessary capital being supplied by third
parties. It did not appear whether he was still carrying on business as a
piano-forte manufacturer. The complainant had been in the habit of placing
his trade-mark upon pianos not made by him, and which he let out to hire;
and he had, at least in one instance, placed the name of
Hewitt, as the manufacturer, on a piano which
he had purchased, Hewitt not being the
manufacturer thereof. It was proved by the production of the complainant's
trademark tablets, that the pianos sold by the defendant bore his trade-mark
upon them, and that they were not manufactured by him or by his authority.
It appeared also, that upon the complainant's bankruptcy the assignees
handed him back his trade-mark tablets, but beyond that no act was done to
revest the trade-mark in the complainant. [...][...]"

Self-acting and Keyed Upright Grand Piano Fortes. By Rolfe & Sons, 112,
Cheapside. Two of these beautiful specimens of mechanical skill applied
to the most fascinating of the sciences (and including the most recent
improvements) are exhibited in the gallery, where the visitors are
constantly regaled by their powerful melody.
The improvements introduced by Messrs. Rolfe & Sons being of
considerable extent, they have divided them into three distinct
sections; their self-acting piano fortes are therefore constructed with
the first section of their patent only, or the first and second sections
combined, or with the three sections united.
The first section consists of a new apparatus for effecting the
transitions of forte and piano, by which means the difficulty of
producing those desirable changes is removed, by transfering the
mechanical action from the weakest and. most uncertain part of the
arrangement — viz. the cylinder to the more powerful and certain action
of the. engine, by which transfer, the liability to derangement in
instruments intended for exportation is avoided. To this branch of their
patent, Messrs. Rolfe and Sons have annexed a hand-movement, or
register, by which the existing arrangement of, or distribution of the
forte and piano, may at any time be changed, or attend to suit
particular views; or may at any moment be removed from the government of
the self-acting apparatus which produces the effect, and be operated
upon by the hand; and again be restored to the control of the machine,
at pleasure. The second section consists of a new barrel movement for
changing the tunes, which is effected by the introduction of an inclined
plane, which forms an abutment for the axis of the cylinder. This plane
is divided into eight portions, and is moved by a radial lever acting
upon a pinion, which by its rotation one revolution moves upon a second
dial an index to the extent of oneeighth of its circumference, moving
the inclined plane to a proportionate extent. By this simple
arrangement, the motions are rendered very steady and accurate, and
eight distinct airs may thus be performed."

" C.
& S. ROYLANCE, MUSICAL INSTRUMENT DEALERS, MUSIC PUBLISHERS, AND
ENTERTAINMENT AGENTS, 184, TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD, W.
This popular and somewhat unique institution was organized in the year 1865
by its present talented and enterprising proprietors for the threefold
purpose of imparting musical instruction, supplying music and musical
instruments of every known kind, and providing evening or other musical and
variety entertainments of a refined character for private parties, either on
a small or a large scale, and in each of these departments the firm have
scored a signal success, and stand to-day in a practically unrivalled
position. Messrs. Roylance’s premises are located but a few doors distant
from Messrs. Shoolbred’s, and are provided with every facility for both
teachers and pupils, for the display and sale of instruments of every kind,
and for the transaction of entertainment engagements. Lessons are given by
competent teachers on the pianoforte, harmonium, violin, violoncello, double
bass, mandoline, dulcimer, clarionet, banjo, zither, guitar, cornet, flute
and piccolo, flageolet, English concertina, Anglo concertina, organ
accordion, musette, harp, and in singing, at the moderate terms of one
guinea for six lessons; and comfortable, well-appointed rooms, with use of
piano or any other instrument, may be hired by ladies and gentlemen for
practice or for receiving lessons in music, drawing, languages, &c., from
their own professors, at from sixpence per hour.

(continuation)
In the sale department the firm hold every
variety and every class and grade of musical instrument known and used in
this country, from the cheapest to the most expensive kinds, and they
publish a full price-list of these, which may be obtained on application. In
the entertainment agency section of their business they undertake to engage
for evening parties, or other festive functions, well-known musicians and
entertainers, at fixed prices, from the supply of a pianist, ventriloquist,
or juggler, to a full orchestral band. Lastly, special mention must be made
of Messrs. Roylance’s system of tuition for the pianoforte, harmonium, or
American organ, which has been highly eulogised by the press, as well as by
musicians of note, as a highly useful stepping-stone to the musical, arena.
Roylance’s Numerical System is indeed a wonderful invention, since by its
aid persons of any age, without any previous knowledge of music, can be
easily taught to play at once, and after but a short practice to “vamp” to
songs, and play a number of sacred and secular melodies. The business
connections of the firm are of a very widespread, influential, and steadily
growing character, and the proprietors spare no effort to make the present
and future reputation of their house fully consistent with all its past
traditions of credit and renown."

" MR.
GEORGE RUSSELL, MANUFACTURER OF PATENT TRANSPOSING PIANOFORTES, 2, STANHOPE
STREET, EUSTON ROAD, N.W. - SINCE this busy and flourishing firm was
originally established in the year 1842 they have always been well known in
the trade as makers of high-class instruments. Their pianos are all made
with iron frames, fitted with patent check repeating actions, ivory keys
with all the latest improvements, while none but the best materials and most
finished workmanship are employed in their manufacture. Their special model
is styled the “Academy” piano, and has been very highly appreciated by
musicians, both amateur and professional. The transposing patent is a
complete triumph, and its action is as simple as the result is effectual,
while even with violent usage it is difficult to put it out of order, and no
precaution of any kind is necessary in its manipulation. A lever is placed
under the keyboard, a slight movement of which, either to the right or left,
raises or lowers the pitch of any music as desired, a small dial in front
denoting the key into which the transposition is made. The range is through
five tones, thus practically giving the choice of six keys. The immense
advantage of this ingenious invention will be palpable to every vocalist,
and will also be recognised as of paramount importance by the large and
increasing number of instrumentalists, both amateur and professional. It has
been freely exhibited during the last five years or so, and has everywhere
earned the most unqualified and enthusiastic, admiration of musicians and
experts. The lever mechanism can at a small cost be added at any time to
most of Messrs. George Russell & Co.’s pianos. The works at 2, Stanhope
Street are very roomy and spacious, and are five storeys in height, having
conveniently arranged offices, a fine show-room, and an extensive range of
very completely equipped workshops. Their instruments are known all over the
civilised world, and few firms can boast of so long and honourable record."

(*1862)(*1865)(*1872)
"Pianofortes. — Without in the least disparaging the instruments or other
makers, we may call attention to the pianofortes manufactured by Messrs.
Rüst and Stahl as uniting many good qualities. These gentlemen give their
undivided attention to one class of instruments only, viz., the upright
piano (piccolo and cottage), the moderate price of which is an additional
recommendation. The instruments we have seen — piccolos of nearly seven
octaves (C to A), and seven octaves full, cottages — appear to be made of
the best seasoned materials; and to combine all the modern improvements; and
the experience of Mr. Rust as a professor, and that of Mr. Stahl as a maker,
seem to have been successfully united in producing good pianofortes at a
reasonable charge. Because an instrument is cheap, it does not necessarily
follow that it Is bad, and Messrs. Rust and Stahl are willing to test this
principle by their offer to exchange, free of expense, any instrument, if
not found perfect in every respect. In these days of "Free Trade," small
profits and quick returns are apparently their object."
The Musical World, 22/11/1851, p. 737
" MESSRS. RUST &
STAHL, in calling the attention of Professors and the Trade to their unique
instruments, beg to intimate that they have taken the spacious and
convenient manufacory of Zeitter and Co., New Cavendish-street, where the
hate made arrangements for the manufacturing of the upright piano only,
via., the Piccolo and Cottage; hence they are enabled to give their
undivided attention to thU now almost universal class of instruments, which,
combined with terms to meet the present exigencies of the timet, small
profits and quick, returns, will pUce their pianofortes beyond the
possibility of competition. To this they need only add that their
instruments combine all the modern improvements, and aro made of the best
seasoned materials, are warranted, and may be exchanged free of expense if
not found to be In every respect perfect. Drawings and lists of prices
forwarded post free. Rust and Stahl, 320, Regent-street. Manufactory, New
Cavendish-street (late Zeitter and Co.)"
