LONDON -
"Mr. Cadby exhibits one grand, 7 octaves, C
to C, and two cottage uprights, fitted with his “patent suspended and
adjustable sound-board.” In ordinary instruments, the edges of the
sound-board are glued firmly to the framing of the instrument. The patentee
considers this has the effect of destroying the brilliancy of the tone,
owing to the fact, that the sound-board is not strained tight; he therefore
secures it to the framework solely by metal clamps, in such a manner as to
admit of its being strained and tightened when desired, like the parchment
head of a drum (For specification of this invention see p. 319, Vol.
XXXVIII. of Lon. J our.). In the grand pianoforte exhibited, the framing
carrying the strings is separate from the case of the instrument, and may be
removed from it entirely."

LONDON -
"Mr. Cadby sends a grand and
cottage, in zebra wood, with his patent suspended sounding-board : there
seems to be a great deal of machinery employed to effect this, and we
cannot say thatit is attended with any superior results, as
comparison with other instruments will attest; at the same time it has
the disadvantage of increasing the bulk and expense of an instrument,
both of which are already great enough."

"C. CADBY, 33 ½ Liquorpond Street, 18 THE ONLY MAKER IN
LONDON OF THE PATENT IRON TRUSS BRACED PIANOFORTE, WHICH IS SO SUITABLE FOR
SHIPPING. The great improvement in these Pianofortes consists in the
construction of the Sounding-board, which, in place of being, as in the
ordinary mode of construction, tightly glued to the wooden framing of the
instrument, is in this patented method suspended by metallic clamps,
springs, or screws, so as to admit of being wholly or partially tightened.
Instead of the tone being partially absorbed and deadened by the attachment
on ordinary sounding-bo>ards to the framing, a defect inseparable from the
old construction, tho Patent Sounding-board, by its isolation, and by the
arrangement of the springs or clamps, retains a much greater and longer
vibration, and the tone is not dissipated, but flows on clearly and
distinctly, giving to the ordinary Pianoforte much of the clearness and
effect of the flageolet and diapason stops of the Organ. It is important to
observe, that tho usual arrangement of the Piano is in every other respect
followed. There is no change in the method of playing, no difference is
observed in fingering, and the pedal movements are identical with the
ordinary instrument.

LONDON - "Messrs.
CHAPPELL (3379) exhibit a cottage pianoforte, with a pedal-board of two and
a half octaves attached. which, having separate strings and action, sounds
sixteen and eight feet notes independently of the pianofortc wires. By means
of couplers the two notes of the pedal clavier can be played either together
or separately, and the pedals can be coupled upon the keys. There is also an
octave coupler for the manual, by which each note can be made to sound also
its octave above. The mechanical arrangements in this instrument are
ingenious and eflective. They also exhibit a student's pianoforte of
forumtaves, constructed at the suggestion of Mr. John Hullah. It is very
portable, and the price is to students only eight guineas—the cheapest
pianoforte made."

"13. Messrs. Chappell's students' pianoforte, with a compass of five
octaves and a check action, at the price of 15 guineas, is a very useful
and low-priced instrument. It seems to have good lasting qualities,
whilst the workmanship throughout, though not refined, is good. Their
upright pianos for warm climates are well constructed for wear, and have
a pleasant tone — some metallic perhaps, and a well-regulated touch."

"CHAPPELL & CO.'S
PIANOFORTES AND HARMONIUMS.
CHAPPELL and CO.'S NEW ROOMS contain Piano-fortes by every
celebrated maker, and form a collection unequalled by that of any other
Establishment.
The Instruments are classified In the following 1 manner :
Room No. 1. — Pianofortes
of every description, from Ten to Thirty-fire guineas.
Room No. 2. — Pianofortes
from Thirty-five to Sixty guineas.
Room No. 3. — Pianofortes
from Sixty to One Hundred guineas and upwards; also Harmoniums of the best
kinds.
Room No. 4. — Harmoniums
of every description, from Six to Sixty guineas and upward's.
Rooms Nos. 6, 6, 7, and 8 are appropriated to Pianofortes and Harmoniums for
Hire.
Purchasers have thus the opportunity of hearing, side by side, Pianofortes
by every recognised maker, and of forming a far more correct judgment of
their various merits than can possibly be obtained by visiting the different
factories, the acconstic properties of which necessarily differ greatly, and
frequently deceive the ear even of the moat skilful.
The superiority of tone of Alexandre's Harmoniums is too well established to
need any comment; but, besides the Prize Medal, the Jury award was accorded
to thern for "novelty of construction of Harmoniums, cheapness, combined
with excellence of manufacture and fine quality of tone."
An immense assortment may lie seen suitable to the Schoolroom, Church, or
Drawing-room, ranging in price from Five to One Hundred Guineas.
Any instrument may be exchanged within six months of the date of purchases
it fail to give entire satisfaction.
A perfectly new Pianoforte or Harmonium may be hired, If taken for twelve m

in a just proportion, according to the musical division of the string.
Metal bars press down the strings by means of pedals, causing the
original bridges to lose their power, thereby producing a more acute
sound as the string is shortened by the secondary bridges and metal
bars. (2) The keys are covered with glass or enamel, in place of ivory.
(3) Another instrument has tuning-forks or single rods of metal, instead
of strings, set in vibration by means of finger-keys and action."

BEETHOVEN
"Improvement in the Piano.—In this connection, it is important to note that
Beethoven’s resources were greatly increased by the improvements which had
been made in piano manufacture. The demand for instruments, created by the
growing popularity of the pianoforte, stimulated manufacturers to redoubled
energy in perfecting them; and, conversely, the added resources thus
developed were an instigation to composers to test their abilities in the
invention of new effects. Thus Beethoven was placed in command of a piano of
much greater power than Mozart’s; and the work of technicians, like
Clementi, for whom he had great respect, was already hinting at new and
marvelous possibilities."

'Pianoforte-maker',
also music publisher, pianist and
composer
“Marked by a most beautiful legato, a
supple touch in lively passages, and a most unfailing technique.” according
to Moscheles ...
Successor of
BUNTEBART
"Muzio Cementi, the musician, was born at Rome in 1752, and came to England
when he was a lad of fourteen or fifteen, under the patronage of Peter
Beckford. He of course rapidly became famous by his performances on the
harpsichord and the pianoforte, and by his compositions. He is said to have
lost a large sum of money by the failure of Longman & Broderip, in which it
seeriis he was a partner. About 1798-99, when Broderip had taken over the
Haymarket shop Clementi entered into a new firm at 26, Cheapside (the
original place of business) with John Longman, and for two or three years
they traded under the style : — John LONGMAN, CLEMENTI & Co."

"In 1802-3 Longman retired from this
and set up for himself at 131, Cheapside, leaving Clementi to enter into
partnership with BANGER, Fredk. Augs. HYDE, Fredk. W. COLLARD, and D. DAVIS.
The business was carried on either as "CLEMENTI, BANGER, HYDE, COLLARD, &
DAVIS," or "Muzio CLEMENTI & Co.," or "CLEMENTI & Co.." with the address 26,
Cheapside."

BRODERIP's plates and stock, and reprinted a great quantity of the music. In
March 1807 they were unfortunate enough to sustain great loss by a fire,
which destroyed £
40,000 worth of property, and must have greatly crippled the new firm."

The Law Advertiser, 15/09/1831, p. 327
"Clementi must, in his later years, have had
little active interest in the business, and in fact from his constant visits
to the Continent and his professional duties cannot ever have paid much
attention to it. He seems to have retired to Evesham, near Worcester, and
died thereon March 9th, 1832. He was afflicted with extraor dinary absence
of mind, and there are several anecdotes in this particular related of him.
Clementi & Co. published a mass of sheet music and re-printed from Longman &
Broderip's plates a number of the English Operas in oblong folio. Another
reprint was "Catches, Canons, and Glees," in four volumes, oblong quarto.
They made pianofortes, and their names are found stamped on violins, flutes,
etc."

MOZART
On 12 January 1782, Mozart wrote to his father: "Clementi plays well, as far
as execution with the right hand goes. His greatest strength lies in his
passages in 3rds. Apart from that, he has not a kreuzer’s worth of taste or
feeling - in short he is a mere mechanicus" (Latin for automaton or robot).
In a subsequent letter, Mozart wrote: "Clementi is a charlatan, like all
Italians. He marks a piece presto but plays only allegro." (Wikipedia)

this gentleman, on the suggestion Mr. Moscheles, have invited him to a
congratulatory dinner at the Albion, on Monday, Nov. 8, in celebration of
the fiftieth anniversary of his partnership in the celebrated Pianoforte
Manufactory, commonly known as the firm of Clementi, Collard and Co. Few men
have been more truly deserving of such a compliment. Mr. C. is the architect
of his own good fortune, and has long been most highly respected by the
profession, and by a very large circle of private acquaintance."

We are very glad to learn that the spirited conduct of Messrs Collard and
Collard in lowering the price of a certain class of pianofortes has been
attended with distinguished success, in as far as a very considerable sale
has been obtained for theBe instruments. The merit of the firm deserves to
be the more handsomely acknowledged — to use a phrase of Johnson's — since it is
one of a very small number of British pianoforte makers who may be said to
constitute the first class. It is so seldom that a first-class house is
disposed to take a lead in innovations for the benefit of the public, and
its doing so is so sure to expose it to odium among its confreres, that our
recurring to the subject on the present occasion seems but the simplest
justice."

" MESSRS.
COLLARD MOUTRIE & CO., PIANOFORTE MANUFACTURERS AND MUSIC PUBLISHERS, 50 &
52, SOUTHAMPTON ROW, W.C. - This firm, which is well known as Messrs.
Collard Moutrie & Co., Pianoforte Makers and Dealers, was. founded in 1849,
the original premises being, at 77, Southampton Row. (Mr. Collard Moutrie
was a brother of the firm bearing the same well-known name in Baker Street.)
Upon the decease of Mr. Collard Moutrie, who had created the nucleus of the
substantial connection, which has since been largely extended, the business
was purchased by the present proprietors, who throughout the notable
developments which they have made in its area and scope have retained the
original style of the firm. It is to the thorough technical knowledge and
their exceptionally energetic management that the house owes its present
well-known position in the trade. Their specialities, for which they have
obtained a high reputation, include pianettes, pianinos, and pianos, in the
various descriptions of boudoir cottage, drawing-room cottage, and upright
iron grand, which compare, very favourably, with those of other first-class
London houses. |
'Pianoforte-makers' since 1849
(continuation) The
premises in Southampton Row are very extensive, and have been admirably
adapted to the requirements of the business. The showrooms, which are
elegantly appointed, are of great depth, and include the entire area of
two of the largest shops in Southampton Row, between which
communications have been made. Handsome plate-glass display windows
contain a fine representative display of the firm’s specialities, which,
in great number and diversity of design and cost, are exhibited in the
showrooms. In addition to the instruments of their own manufacture,
Messrs. Collard Moutrie & Co., having intimate relations with all the
leading houses in the trade, hold a generally representative stock of
both new and second-hand pianos. Thus they have always, for the
selection of their patrons, instruments by Broadwood, Bechstein, Bord,
Brinsmead, Chickering, Collard & Collard, Erard, Ibach, Kaps, Kirkman,
&c. These are for sale, either for cash or on the three years’ system.
The firm undertake the tuning and repairing, by experienced assistants,
of pianofortes and organs of all descriptions, and make annual contracts
for such work on very moderate terms. Messrs. Collard Moutrie are
already well known as dealers in sheet music. Their “Thematic List of
Select Pianoforte Pieces, by Henri Stanislaus, Michael Watson, E.
Boggetti, &c.,” is constantly found in the hands of professors of music;
and the musical public generally have been much interested in their
recently published catalogue of their “Hanover Edition” of Classical and
Standard Pianoforte Solos, Duets, Studies and Exercises and Standard
Vocal Music. The publishing department of this enterprising firm is, at
the present moment, being developed."

"PEDAL
PIANO. — Messrs. Coventry and Hollier have constructed a piano-forte which
has two complete octaves of pedals. The additional mechanism, which is of
the most finished nature, in no way affects the ordinary touch of the
instrument, and its appearance adds rather than diminishes to its general
appearance. The tone produced by the foot is instantaneous, clear, and
decided, and obtainable without effort or exertion. Messrs. Coventry and
Hollier, by this excellent invention, have now put it in the power of our
fair readers to initiate themselves in the principal creations of a Bach,
and have opened a new source of enjoyment to all those who revel in the
widely dispensed harmonies of the ancient clavichord composers."

"Johann Baptist Cramer (1771-1858) was
born at Mannheim, Germany. When he was but a year old his father moved to
London. As a boy he studied the violin and the piano, as well as the theory
of music, but soon showed the greater aptitude for the piano. Later he
became a pupil of Clementi. Handel, Bach, Scarlatti, Haydn and Mozart were
the objects of his attention, thus establishing a taste for the classics. In
1788, Cramer began a series of tours on the Continent, living at London in
the intervals. In 1828, he founded the music publishing firm of J. B. Cramer
& Co. He lived in Paris from 1832 to 1845, but returned to London, where he
remained until his death."

ORGANS
"Crang was a Devonshire man, and, after
settling in London, became a partner with Hancock, a good voicer of reeds.
Hancock added new reeds to many of Father Smith's organs. Crang appears to
have been chiefly employed in altering the old echos into swells. He made
this improvement in the organs of St. Paul's Cathedral; St. Peter's,
Cornhill; St. Clement Danes; &c.
It appears that there were two Hancocks, probably brothers— John and James;
and they are specially mentioned in the contract for an organ at Chelmsford
in 1772. The following payments relating to these makers are extracted from
the accounts of the churchwardens of Maidstone, printed in Mr. W. B.
Gilbert's Memorials of the Collegiate Church of Maidstone [...]."

CROMWELL Samuel Thomas |
Patent of 1845 : "Samuel
Thomas Cromwell, of Romsey, Hants, teacher of music, for improvements
in apparatus to (Nov. 11.) be applied to pianofortes."
Mechanics' Magazine and Journal of Science, Arts,
and Manufactures, Volume 43, 1845, p. 383 - or -
"A.D. 1845, November 11. — N° 10,937. - CROMWELL, Samuel Thomas. —
Improvements in apparatus to be applied to pianofortes. The invention
consists in an arrangement of stops for producing harmonic sounds which
form a kind of echo to the ordinary quality of tone produced by
pianofortes, and at the same time raise the pitch of the instrument.
The
manner in which I obtain this effect or quality of tone in pianofortes is by
placing over the string or strings of each nois or half note, at about the
middle of their length, an elastic stop, which being pressed upon the
strings will reduce the vibration and produce the harmonic sound. The
invention is shown as applied to (1) a cottage pianoforte; (2) a square
pianoforte."

Patent of 1797 : "Mess.
Culliford and Co.'s PianoFortes. - On the 31st of January 1797, letters
patent were granted to Mess. Culliford, Rolfe, and Barrow, of
Cheap-side, for their newly invented grand and square Piano Fortes. The
principle of this invention consists in the substituting of any
vibratory substance in the body of the instrument, in lieu of the
sounding board, usually made of deal. The vibratory substance which has
been preferred and succeeded the best, is ox's hide, prepared in the
manner of vellum, and secured from vermin and the changes of weather and
climate, by spirit varnish and camphor. The vibratory belly has enabled
the Patentees to apply a drum accompaniment, by means of pedals and of
hammers, which act underneath. — |

Succeeded by
ROLFE William, since 1800 (2)
(continuation)
This accompaniment has the full effect of a double drum;
with the peculiar excellence of being always in perfect tune with every
key in the instrument. It will be readily conceived, by all persons
acquainted with the theory of sound, that the application of an uniform
vibrating substance, in the stead of the deal boards formerly used,
cannot fail to produce a superior sweetness and brilliancy of tone. This
mode of constructing the belly, also removes the inequality of tone in
the several keys, that arises from the irregular density and texture of
the deal boards; for, as the elasticity and tension of the ox's hide is
equal throughout, the vibration opposed to the several strings must be
equal also, and the tone of every string regular and perfect."
