 Guineas each. Every "instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes 

 are best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age: — " We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Roval Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO., have great pleasure in bearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a rcher 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, omnloir. or drawing-room. (Signed)
