PRICE $ I 50 to $200. 
The “Model” is a beautiful little Upright or Cottage 
piano; it is manufactured from the best materials that can 
be procured ; tile workmanship is excellent, and ils durabili¬

houses; but it is especially adapted for beginners, and on 
account ot its low price, commends itself to every parent, 
because, it possesses all the principal features of the finest 
piano, and lias none of tbe numerous disadvantages ot the
