 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO.. have great pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, bondoir,ordrawing-room. (Signed)
