TEAGUE & KING  

1911 - "The premises of Messr. Teague & King of Winchester have of late undergone alterations and there is also a new front which is so large that ten pianos can be exhibited therein. In fact, there is a rumour abroad that the shop front is the finest one in the music trade away from London. In addition to the above location, the proprietors own three branch houses." Musical Opinion and Music Trade Review, Volume 35, 04/1912, p. 519

1911 - "RECENTLY the premises of Messrs. Teague & King (Lim.), pianoforte dealers and music warehousemen, 46, High Street, Winchester, have undergone extensive alterations, including the provision of an entirely new front. In the place of the old square window front has been erected a corridor window, which provides show space for quite a dozen pianos, also other instruments, which can now be seen to the fullest advantage, the central approach being a gradient, thus doing away with the steps up into the shop that formerly existed. The spacious double fronted plate glass windows are beautifully set in mahogany frame work on plinths of Aberdeen granite with gunmetal sills and corner plates. The corridor approach is laid in ceramic work and overhead the soffit is in anaglypta panelling, a distinct finish being given to the windows by the semi-circular ends of the glass fronts on either side of the door. The interior of the shop has been redecorated throughout in white satin striped paper with a dado in Indian red, the shop illuminated by electric lamps of artistic design. Heating is obtained on the hot water system and this has been extended throughout the whole premises, including the new workshops and the gallery. Above the shop the large showroom has been considerably enlarged and the walls decorated in pale green with a white enamelled frieze. The restruction of the workshops has been found necessary to cope with modern requirements, and the firm notify that all classes of work are now undertaken by a competent staff on the premises. This, together with the stock of instruments in the showrooms, enables Messrs. Teague & King to claim that they are quite up-to-date; and those who have inspected the premises cannot fail to congratulate the firm upon possessing one of the best music warehouses outside the metropolis. A curious coincidence concerning the work has been the discovery on the old facia-board of the name of J. C. Jones. He conducted a music warehouse there many years ago and moved to 75. High Street. Here his business was acquired by Messrs. Teague & King, who some years ago transferred it to 46, High Street; and it was not until these alterations were in progress that they knew that their predecessor had actually occupied the same shop."

REDHILL, SURREY - R. PHILLIPS, Manager.
The circumstances which chiefly led to the formation of this scheme were the following. When travelling, some time since, in company with a gentleman connected with the Railway Mission, I was informed by him that some of the Mission Branches were about to start Bands in connection with their work; and when afterwards present at a meeting addressed by that gentleman, I was impressed by the forcible manner in which he urged upon the members the important benefits which would result from their having Musical Instruments in their homes, as also from the formation of local Bands.
Feeling convinced that there are many persons connected with our Railways and Police who could not conveniently purchase an Instrument, had they to pay down cash for the same, we have endeavoured to meet their requirements, and are prepared to supply any bona-fide Railway Employé, Police Officer, or those who are in any way connected with Railway or Police Missions, in any part of Great Britain, with whatever article they may select from our Catalogue, either for cash or on easy terms of payment.

As a large number of the goods we sell are manufactured by us on our own premises (hence no midle profits), and as the goods will be supplied direct to you instead of through the medium of an agent, we can allow a large discount on all purchases, whether for cash or on easy terms. Railway Employés and Police officers who could visit our London show-rooms and select any article they might require, would have the discount taken off the Catalogue prices by producing a card which we supply. We have the largest stock of Organs in London. Any article may be delivered at once on payment of a small deposit. Catalogues, giving full particulars and testimonials, on application.

1830 - "OCEAN WOOD - Is the name of a new species of wood which has been lately used by Mr. Tomkison, in the manufacture of pianofortes. It is a sort of mahogany, and its name is supposed to have been given, from a fancied resemblance its grain presents to the undulation of the sea. It is quite an unique in the English market, and for a single log Mr. Tomkison is said to have paid the enormous sum of 2,300 guineas." Arcana of Science and Art, Or, An Annual Register of Useful Inventions and ..., 1830, p. 206

1839 - "TOMKINSON's [sic] NEWLY-INVENTED PIANOFORTE.
Mr. Tomkinson has manufactured an instrument which, we think, is destined to figure very conspicuously in the future history of the pianoforte. Let our readers picture to themselves a cottage piano, 3 ft. 5 in. high with regard to size, and a grand piano, or even more than a grand piano, as to power and volume of sound, and they will have some idea of Mr. Tomkinson's new and most important invention. The immense tone produced from an instrument of such diminutive size, is a feature as novel as it is interesting. The means by which this singular phenomenon is produced, are, of course, known only to the inventor; but we are enabled to say this much, that there are differences of a very material nature in the action from that of any other pianoforte hitherto manufactured; differences which, among other advantages, give to the base notes a bell-like clearness which is hardly surpassed by the finest horizontal pianos of the best makers."

1853 - "Some of the small dealers are, we fear, sufficiently dishonest to pat the name of some eminent maker on their keyboard, and thus enhance the price of the instrument. At one time, when the name of Tomkinson [sic] was a sort of passport to an instrument, the small dealers would put Tomkisson on their name-boards, and thus escape the notice of the law." Cyclopædia of useful arts & manufactures, 1853, p. 415

1858 - TOMKISON on TURNER - "Anecdote respecting the great Artist, the late “W. M. Turner, RA. — Mr. Tomkison, the eminent pianoforte maker, called on me one morning in the year 1850. I had shown him a small picture by Constable. This led to remarks on the merits of landscape-painters; and Turner, of course, was alluded to in the way his great excellence deserved. Mr. Tomkison then observed: “My father was the first to discover the boy's talents. My father was a jeweller, and lived in Southampton Street, Covent Garden. Turner‘s father was a hair-dresser, and lived in Maiden Lane, a corner house in a little court; he operated on my father. On one occasion Turner brought his child with him; and while the father was dressing my father, the little boy was occupied in copying something he saw on the table. They left, and after a few minutes they returned. Turner apologised for troubling my father, and begged to know what his son had been copying. On being shown the copy, my father said, ‘your son never could have done it'. He had copied a coat of arms from a handsome set of castors, which happened at that time to be on the table. Some time after a gentleman died, who had been long under Turner's razor, and left him a legacy of 100%. The moment my father heard this, he begged Turner to allow him to dispose of the 100%. for the benefit of the boy by articling him to Malton, the distinguished architectural draftsman of that day— this was done accordingly."
Your correspondent, Mr. Editor, begged Mr. Tomkison to repeat the anecdote, and to allow him to write down the words as they proceeded from his lips. Mr. Tomkison then read the statement, and approved of it; and were he now alive, would, I am sure, give it his imprimatur. A. M." Notes and Queries, 1858, p. 475

1861 - "Mr. F. Manson makes the following remarks on a quotation from ‘The Life of J. M. W. Turner, R.A.,’ in our last number,—“which,” says Mr. Masson, “contains a disrespectful reference to my revered friend, the late Mr. Thomas Tomkison, the well-reputed pianoforte-maker. Mr. Tomkison died in the year 1853, at the advanced age of ninety-two ; he must have therefore been born in 1761, eleven years before Turner, and by 'those years only his senior; so that he could not have been the individual at whose house the embryo artist gave signs of his future greatness. Mr. Tomkison’s father was a silversmith in the neighbourhood of Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, and Turner‘s father, ‘the barber,’ attended him(the elder Tomkison) in that capacity,—one which, in those days, was a diurnal necessity. It was upon one of these occasions that the young artist made the sketch from the silver salver which enlisted the sympathies and gained the support of his father‘s employer. How far the epithets ‘self-conccitcd and fussy' may apply to the bearing and character of Turner’s original_ patron I am unable to say; but of their total misapplication to my late venerable friend, Mr. Tomkison (a man of singular urbanity), I and a host of others are ready to attest.” The Athenaeum, 23/11/1861, p. 691

Patent of 1871 : "A.D. 1871, January 28.-No. 236. TONGUE, William, of Kennington, in the county of Surrey, engineer. — Improvements in pianofortes, harmoniums, and other musical instruments.
According to one part of this invention the metal wires or strings in pianofortes are formed flattened or broader at one part of their section than at the other part, such wires or strings being so arranged that the hammer will strike against the broad or flattened part of the wires or strings.
According to another part of this invention one metal wire or string is employed in place of two or of three strings for each hammer, such wire or string being formed flat like metal tape or clock spring.
According to another part of these improvements when employing flat metal wires or strings, such strings are caused to vibrate and produce musical notes by means of a current of air directed against such strings. A metal clasp or surface is attached to the flat wire or string for the air to impinge against.
According to another part of this invention apparatus is combined with a pianoforte for producing and directing a current of air upon the flat metal strings or wires having a metal clasp or surface attached thereto, as above described, so that the vibrations of such strings produced by the blow of the hammer may be maintained by the current of air.
Another part of this invention relates to harmoniums, organs, and other musical instruments. According to this part of the invention valves are employed of such a form that the passage for the air is larger or smaller according to the amount of movement given to the valve. In some cases conical valves or valves having a conical prolongation are employed so formed that the passage for the air is increased the higher the valve is lifted. According to this part of the invention the " action" or mechanism for raising the valve is so arranged that in proportion to the amount of force used by the performer on the keys of the instrument the passage for the air will be opened to a greater or less extent and so as to produce a louder or softer note."

Patent of 1848 : "Dec. 29 -N° 1715 - Towns and Packer - Oxford Street - Improvements in the action of pianofortes." The Mechanics' Magazine, 06/01/1849, p. 24

 

LONDON - "A bichord grand, made by Messrs. Towns and Packer, has the power of transposing through a range of four semitones above or below the original key. It has, for this purpose, an arrangement for shifting the key-board and action in a lateral direction. This is the original way in which the transposing piano-forte was made. (Vide remarks on Mr. Addison’s piano-forte, ante.)" Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851, p. 37

  "MESSRS. TOWNS & PACKERS, 20, OXFORD STREET. — HORIZONTAL SEMI-GRAND TRANSPOSING PIANOFORTE.—To transpose Music by semitonic progression two whole tones higher or lower than the original Scale or Key in which it was composed, for the accommodation of Singers. Its novelty is attributable to the introduction of a power by which the key-board is moved for the purposes of transposition, and its superiority is the fact that the tone and touch are not in the least affected by the use of this moving power. This Instrument has the repetition touch so much approved of by the Profession in the Grand Pianofortes." Official descriptive and illustrated catalogue of the Great exhibition 1851, p. 29
