PIANOFORTES, 25 Guineas 

 each. — D'ALMAINE & CO., 20. Soho 

 Square (established a.d. 1785), sole manufac- 

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 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 Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAlNE & 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 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, boudoir, or drawing-room. (Signed)
