“ Having used one of llieii* instruments in 
our family for twenty years, we can confi¬ 
dently commend them to our readers us be¬ 
ing iirst-cluss iu every respect. Both pro¬ 
fessional and amateur players on the piano 
pronounce our Dunham very superior iu 
tone. An instrument that has retained ils 
brilliancy and sweetness of tone for a score 
of years needs no furt her commendation.”
