'Pianoforte-maker' ? ca. 18 57-72
1872 -
"Lundi 26, dans la soirée,
la station de Kentish-Town, du railway-nord de Londres, a élé détruite
par le feu. En dépit des efforts incessants organises pour arrêter le
Sinistre, l'incendie n’a pu être comprimé qu’à une heure avancée du
lendemain. Par suite les ravages sont consirables. Il parait qu’au
moment où le feu a atteint le débarcadère d’arrivée les flammes l’ont
envahi sur une longueur de 250 pieds, embrassant en même temps quatre
grandes salles d’attenta et la loge aux signaux qui, se trouvant dans
une position élevée, rèpandait, en bruiant, une clarté qu’on pouvait
apercevoir de Rotherhithe et de East-End. En très peu de temps tous les
batiments se sont écrontés sur la ligne, en communiquant le feu à ceux
qui leur faisaient face de l’autre cóté. En ce moment les pompes
arrivèront. Pour parvenir au foyer de l’incendie, les pompiers durent se
revêtir de l’appareil de sauvetage, à l’aide duquel ils purent
s’aventurer sur la ligne, bien que les trains arrivassent à route
vitesse dans la station. Toutefois, les employés du chemin de fer
dépêchèrent en toute hate des messagers avec dessignaux de détresse, de
sorte que les trains purent s’arrêteret les voyageurs passer sur
d’autres branches de la ligne. Les flammes gagnèrent un batiment de deux
étages et de 50 pieds de long, occupé par M. Kaltwasser, facteur
de pianos. Puis elles envahirent le hangar n° 40, occupé par Odell,
chargé du soin des voitures. Ce batiment, qui contenait du fourrage, de
la paille, etc., avec un grand nombre de véhicules et de fourgons, fut
bien vite incendié. Mais les éfforts des pompiers parvinrent à sauver
une partie de son contenu. Un autre, occupé par M. Pennerck, fut com
plètement détruit. Un cheval de prix, atteint parle feu; en est mort. Le
rapport officiel sur eet événement confirme les détails qui précédent.
Il parait que la Compagnie du chemin de fer loue une grande partie des
hangars pour servir d’écuries et d’ateliers. On dit que lundi, vers neuf
heures, un garçon d’écurie est entré avec une chandelle allumée dans une
de ces écuries. Au moment où il sortait le vent fit voler quelques
flammèches sur le foin et la paille. L’incendie se trahit par la fumée,
la flamme envahit la partie inférieure du débarcadère qui est en
planches et récemment goudronnée par mesure préservatrice. Le reste est
connu."

GLASGOW - "The
Kastner Autopiano makes a highly effective appeal to eye and to ear. The
combination Autopiano, which plays both full compass and sixty-five note
music, is a feature of the exhibit and indicates a noteworthy
development in these well known instruments. To meet the exigences of
the occasion, the holes in the tracker bar and in the paper had to be
reduced to one half the usual size; but the difficulties imposed thereby
in the way of faultless tracking have been successfully overcome by the
patent automatic music guide which ensures absolutely perfect tracking.
The Kastner Reliance motor is a great improvement on the earlier three
valve type and struck the writer as the finest that he had ever seen for
smooth working. Other points to which reference deserves to be made is
the silent revolution of the music roll and of take-up spool and the
complete control which the operator has over the expression, not
entirely by the mechanical assistance of handles and levers but largely
from his own musical sensibility expressed through the pressure of the
feet on the pedals."

"The
Ideal Home Exhibition [...] -
KASTNER & CO. had on view a representative collection of the
various models of the Kastner Autopiano, showing a number of designs to
match the principal styles of furniture and of decoration. The
Autopianos exhibited were of the latest type, with sixty-five and
eighty-eight note tracker-board; full compass, direct action, "the
correcto-guide," the patent soloist melody accenting device, patent
flexible fingers and patent Reliance motor. The advantages and
perfections of the Autopiano were demonstrated."

The Piano aesthetically considered by Hugh B. Philpott
1901 - "A piano which, without departing quite so far
from the customary form, presents some interesting and admirable
features, has been shown by Messrs. Norman & Stacey, in their Ideal
Officer's Quarters at the Earl's Court Exhibition. The sides of the
instrument are brought forward so that the keyboard becomes incorporated
in the body of the instrument. The cover of the keyboard is divided in
the middle and fastened to the sides by decorative hinges. When the
piano is opened, the two flaps, standing up almost perpendicular on
either side, have a somewhat awkward appearance, and look a little
dangerous to the performer who sits between them, though they are, of
course, held in position by catches (see page 187) [see here on the
left]. In another model which is being prepared the flaps will, I
understand, fall back obliquely against the sides, and this will
probably be a considerable im provement, both from the point of view of
appearance and of safety. The arrangement to support the music is
decidedly good in conception, but not, I think, quite right in
execution. It is in the form of a cabinet with folding doors, against
which the music may rest, and in which it may be placed when not at the
moment in use. The space allowed for the music seems hardly sufficient,
and certainly the doors should have a metal fitting by which they may be
opened. These points of detail will, no doubt, be improved upon in
future examples; the general idea is excellent, and this type of piano
should appeal to those who feel the need of something more artistic than
the conventional cottage piano, but do not care to go quite so far as to
adopt Mr. Baillie Scott's 'Elizabethan box'. The piano itself is by
Messrs. Keith Prowse & Co., and Messrs. Norman and Stacey have supplied
and executed the design. It is carried out in mahogany and satin wood;
the metal fittings are of aluminium, the electric light fitting being
placed on the top of the instrument and curved forward so as to
illuminate the music."

for so many years at Highbury Corner, at the age of sixty-three. Mr. King's
father was in business as a musicseller in the Upper Street, Islington, and
Mr. Lovett King carried on the business he established at Highbury for
twenty-nine years until he disposed of it to Messrs Saville. The decaesed
gentleman was much esteemed as a teacher of singing and as an accompanist,
and these occupations he kept up till a week of two before his death.
Locally his services were much in demand as a singer of humorous songs."

Patent of 1836 : "Wheatley Kirk, of Commercial-street,

improvements in pianofortes. May 14 ; six months."
The pianoforte, its origin, progress, and
construction, Edward F. Rimbault, 1860, p. 155 - or -
"A.D. 1836, May 14. — N° 7094. KIRK, Wheatley. — Improvements in
pianofortes. The invention consists primarily, fundamentally, and
chiefly in the introduction of a double sounding board, and a complete
metallic frame or support. The patentee rests his claim to originality
on a new application and an invention, because as in the old system of
manufacturing pianofortes "there was not a possibility of introducing a
double sounding board for want of space,he substitutes a metallic frame
for the ordinary wooden supports, props, or uprights, thereby leaving
the interior entirely or sufficiently free for the insertion of a double
sounding board. The sounding board is enclosed on all sides, similar to
a violin, and in the form of a case. It is uniform in its thickness or
depth of unoccupied space. It is free and independent of any direct and
attached connexion with the frame into which it fits, thereby being in a
state of release from the injurious effects to which the sounding boards
on the old construction are subjected by the immense pull of the
strings. Three apertures are cut in the sound board shown in the drawing
for the same purpose as the sound holes in the violin."

"It must be still in the recollection of many persons, now living, that
within their memories, a good Kirkman's harpsichord, which perhaps might
have then cost 70 or 80 guineas, was considered as a valuable instrument,
and the person possessing it, as fortunate, and furnished for life. But
afterwards piano-fortes were introduced, and have now become so much the
fashion, that a Kirkman's harpsichord, whatever its merits, and however
costly it might originally have been, would not fetch at a sale five
pounds."

"KIRKMAN (Jacob), an excellent harpsichord-maker, who came to England from
Germany, about the year 1740, and worked with the celebrated Tabel, as his
foreman and finisher, till the time of his death. Soon after which, by a
curious kind of courtship, Kirkman married his master's widow, by which
prudent measure he became possessed of all Tabel's seasoned wood, tools, and
stock in trade. Kirkman himself used to relate the fingular manner in which
he gained the widow, which was not by a regular siege, but by storm. He told
her one fine morning, at breakfast, that he was determined to be married
that day before twelve o'clock. Mrs. Tabel, in great surprise, asked him to
whom he was going to be married, and why so soon? The finisher told her,
that he had not yet determined whom he should marry; and that, if the would
have him, he would give her the preference. The lady wondered at his
precipitancy, and hesitated full half an hour; but, he continuing to swear
that the business must be done before twelve o'clock that day, at length she
surrendered; and, as this abridged courtship preceded the marriage-act, and
the nuptials could be performed at the Fleet or May Fair, "without loss of
time or hindrance of business," the canonical hour was saved, and two fond
hearts were in one united, in the most summary way possible, just one month
after the decease of Tabel. Kirkman lived long enough to stock the whole
kingdom with his instruments, and to amass great wealth. He had no children,
but as many nephews hovering over him as a Roman pontiff. He doubled the
profits of his instruments, by becoming a pawnbroker and a usurer; obliging
young heirs with money as kindly, and with as much liberality, as a Hebrew.
Kirkman did not live to see his excellent double harpsichords, of sixty or
seventy guineas price, sold at auctions for twelve or fourteen pounds, and
the original purchasers turn them out of their houses as useless lumber. But
such are the vicissitudes of this world, that our defcendants will, perhaps,
know as little about the pianoforte, as we do now of the lute or lyre. He
died, in 1778, worth near 200,0001."

"KIRKMAN & SON,
GRAND AND COTTAGE PIANOFORTE MANUFACTURERS. - Reprinted from the "MUSIC
TRADES REVIEW," December 15th, 1879.
OLD ENGLISH PIANO HOUSES. - As various firms abroad, and particularly in
America, are debating the question of the "oldest piano-making firm," and as
they seem to think a career of half a century as something to boast about,
it will not be out of place to revive a few facts of history in connection
with our own old piano houses. - The oldest of the existing firms is
undoubtedly KIRKMAN'S. Mr. HIPKINS, a valued employé in the house of
Broadwood's, and a great and unbiassed authority, reminds us that Jacob
Kirkman, or Kirchman, is stated by Burney to have arrived in England about
1740; but that the date is obviously too late. We believe the founder of
Kirkman's actually arrived in London about 1725, and that he was in business
in 1730. He died in 1778, and though he arrived in England without a penny
in his pocket, he left a fortune of £200,000. At least one harpsichord of
Jacob Kirkman is still extant, in the possession of Mr. C. K. Salaman, late
hon. sec. of the Musical Association, and it bears date 1768. Jacob Kirkman
was succeeded by his nephew Abraham, whose son and successor, the first
Joseph Kirkman, first introduced the pianoforte into his workshop. Joseph
was succeeded by his sons Joseph and Henry, the former of whom died only two
years ago at the advanced age of eighty-seven. It was this gentleman who was
the great inventor of improvements in pianos with which the name of the firm
has been connected. The firm still occupies the house, 19, Broad Street,
Soho, in which--then the sign of the King's Arms in Broad Street, Carnaby
Market-the first Mr. Kirkman commenced business a CENTURY AND A HALF AGO. -
JOSEPH KIRKMAN & SON, PIANOFORTE MANUFACTURERS, 3 & 9, SOHO SQUARE, LONDON,
W., MANUFACTORY: BRADMORE WORKS, HAMMERSMITH, Beg to call attention to the
following Specialties now being manufactured by them :
No. 1. BOUDOIR GRANDS. With Steel Frames.
5. SHORT GRANDS. With Steel Frames.
6. SMALL MODEL OVERSTRUNG PICCOLO PIANOS. With Iron Frames.
7. BOUDOIR COTTAGE, OVERSTRUNG. With Iron Frame.
12. OVERSTRUNG UPRIGHT GRAND. With Iron Frame.
The STEEL FRAMES, Invented and PATENTED by Messrs. KIRKMAN, give INCREASED
TONE to their Instruments, and render them entirely free from any harshness;
whilst in the NEW OVERSTRUNG MODELS the tone is of GREATER VOLUME than in
many Grands. A number of Machines of the most perfect kind have been erected
for the manufacture of the action and other portions of the Piano. Customers
may therefore rely upon having Instruments equally as good as those which
have gained for the house such universal praise. - CATALOGUES and PRICE

OBITUARY
1880 - "We regret to announce the death, in
his sixty-fifth year, on the 6th inst., at Howard Villa, Dagnall Park,
South Norwood, of Mr. John Henry Klitz, formerly of Hanway Street,
London. Mr. John Henry Klitz was born July 10th, 1816, and was the sixth
son of George Frederick Klitz, professor of music, of Lymington, Hants.
He was apprenticed to Mr. Packer, of Reading, and afterwards, in 1838,
he came with that gentleman to London, and entered the firm of Messrs.
Towns & Packer, of 20, Oxford Street. In 1845 he was engaged by Messrs.
Erard, by and for some years held a good position in that house as
tuner, second only to their late head tuner, Mr. Flesche. On leaving
Messrs. Erard's, Mr. Klitz established himself in Tottenham Court Road,
afterwards removing to Hanway Street, Oxford Street, where he formed for
himself a first-class connexion amongst the nobility and professors of
music of London. In 1868 Mr. Klitz retired from active occupation to the
neighbourhood of Croydon, leaving to his nephew, Mr. Charles J. Klitz,
the business in Hanway Street, which he still carries on. Mr. Klitz has
been in declining health during the past four years, and, after a most
painful and protracted illness, he breathed his last on the 6th inst. He
was for thirty-seven years a member of the Society of British and
Foreign Musicians, and for some years held the position of one of the
trustees to that society. By his will he leaves to the above society a
legacy of 100l., free of duty, upon certain conditions, the principal
one being that within a period of two years the society subscribe an
equal sum of 100%., such sums to form the nucleus of a widows' and
orphans' fund, a subject the formation of which he had for years most
urgently pressed upon the managing body of the society."

1890 - "William Knaggs,
Pianoforte, Organ, and Harmonium Warerooms, and Music Depôt, 3, Finkle
Street, Stockton-on-Tees. This well known musical instrument business was
founded upwards of forty years ago by the late Mr. J. P. Jewson, and came
into the hands of its present proprietor in 1887. The premises occupied
comprise a large double-fronted shop and show-room extending a long way
back, and having spacious storerooms at the rear. The stock exhibited at
this establishment is a large and comprehensive one, including all kinds of
musical instruments, and representing a great number of leading
manufacturers of the same. Special features consist in pianos, organs, and
harmoniums, which are, undoubtedly, the three most popular popular
instruments of the present day. The stock of pianofortes ranges in price
from eighteen hundred guineas, and embraces the noted productions of Messrs.
production Broadwood, Messrs. Ralph Allison & Sons, Mr. Henry Ward, and many
other famous makers. In American organs, Mr. Knaggs makes a speciality of
the beautiful instruments of Messrs. Estey, but he also sells those of Mason
& Hamlin, and other firms. His stock of harmoniums, melodeons, violins,
flutes, concertinas, &c., is one of the best and most com-' plete in the
town; and a full assortment of sheet music and musical publications is kept.
Mr. Knaggs, who is an accomplished musician, also gives lessons on the organ
and the pianoforte, and has been a prominent local organist for upwards of
twenty years. He keeps a competent staff of hands for tuning and repairing.
His principal tuner has had London training and experience. ->

trade is maintained, the whole business being most ably and enterprisingly

the country, either for cash purchase, or on an easy and economical hire
system which gives every satisfaction to his large clientèle."

LONDON - "Mr.
Knoll showed a handsomely inlaid Oblique Piano, with the peculiarity of the
strings being at the back of the instrument, and the hammers also striking
at the back. This is accomplished by an ingenious system of levers,
something similar to that employed by organ-builders, where the keys are at
a distance from the instrument. With this plan properly carried out, it
would be quite possible for a performer to play in one room while the piano
is in another."

"Mr. Knoll
exhibits a walnut cottage and walnut oblique pianoforte likewise a
handsomely inlaid walnut oblique piano, with the peculiarity of the
strings being at the back of the instrument, and the hammers also
striking at the back. This is accomplished by an ingenious system of
levers, something similar to that employed by organ-builders where
the keys are at a distance from the instrument. The touch of Mr.
Knoll's piano is, under the circumstances, remarkably good; and,
with this plan properly carried out, it would be quite possible for
a performer to play in one room while the piano is in another.

Manufactory-54a, Queen Street, Pratt Street, Camden Street, London.
Other Pianofortes awoke in other days,
High Arts instructive anthems and rapt the Poets lays, But now like an
enchanted ocean thro' th' world shall roll
The tributary verse I pour to the famed house of Knoll,
The Grand Oblique it is that doth th' minstrel much elate.
I noted the back with iron bars and metallic plate.
There was on Erie's borders once a Mistress Nottage, her Daughter was in
England and took a fancy to a "Cottager,"
Our neighbours could not equal it with all their brag
It startled the stars from the Yankee flag,
It nigh had hurl'd the seraphim from off their "singing thrones",
While it usurped sky and space with its entrancing tones,
A glorious specimen I took beyond the western sea,
And declared to new-born nations the enlightened patentee
As prime Inventor, him we hail and manufacturer.
Art's amaranthine wreath on Knoll doth th' living age confer;
Music did once for Thebes whole quarries thrill,
And Knoll yet to the throne may bring Joinville,
For the exiled Royal Family of France,
The notes of his pianofortes entrance,
And when they come again unto the Gallic crown,
They'll know how much they they owe to 17, Clarence Road, Kentish Town,
Thro' the lurid haze of yet prospective glory greet
The realization of more than orient story, replete
With wonders musical and politic at 54a, Queen Street,
Pratt Street, Camden Street,
Antiques may speak, long ages sing of Marsyas and Apollos,
And too we hail Grands, Obliques, Cottages and Piccolos, And the muse, notes
that never deals in fractions,
They're all with patent back and front striking actions. P. S. Testimonials
do show how Knoll excels in his art, Witness Jules Benedict the two
Macfarren's and Great Henry Smart.
By appointment to Her Majesty's Government."

"G. A. KOLLMANN'S NEW PATENT PIANOFORTES.
THE novel features which characterize Mr. G. Kollmann's Horizontal Grand,
Horizontal Square, Upright Grand, and Upright Semigrand PianoFortes, consist
not merely in Improvements of One, or several of the various parts of which
the Instrument is composed, while the Principles according to which it has
hitherto been formed are retained, but in the application of superior
Principles of such a nature, that these Pianofortes receive a new and
improved construction in all their departments, obtaining by simple means
the best results, namely in — Quality And Quantity Op Tone —Standing In Tune
— Facility of Tuning — Good Touch — External Form — And General Durability.
The new qualities of the Horizontal Grand Pianoforte, may be briefly
described as follows : —
1. The Hammers and Mechanism are placed Above the String, so that the
Hammers Strike Down on the Strings Towards the Bridge and Soundboard. It is
by this mode of action alone, that tone of the finest quality and greatest
power is produced. In the usual Grand Pianofortes the Mechanism is placed
Under the Strings, and the Hammers strike them Upwards, Away from the Bridge
and Soundboard.
2.
The Stringing and Soundboard have qualities by which the Quantity of tone
in the Instrument is increased.
3. The entire Plan of Tuning is New, and rendered a mathematical operation,
regulated with Ease and Certainty, by means of Screw power. Hence the
Pianoforte can be tuned with exactness and facility. It stands firm in tune,
and the strings can be renewed as often as may be desirable, without the
mode of fixing them being lessened in security. i. The Mechanism is Simple,
and acts with the least possible friction and resistance. The results of
this arrangement are : 1. A good and easy touch, enabling the performer to
produce every variety of expression and execution with facility — 2.
Durability of the action's original state. 3. New features of Outline of the
Pianoforte, by which it is rendered more Convenient and Elegant. The four
Classes, of Mr. Kollmann's new Pianofortes, possess the qualities of the
Horizontal Grand, therefore, although varying in form and dimensions, they
all have the Grand Pianoforte Tone.
The above Pianofortes are to be seen at No. 21, Old Bond Street.
Class.
1.
Horizontal Grand Pianoforte, of 6 ½ Octaves, in Rosewood, with massive
Ornaments and feet of new design, &c. carved in solid Rosewood.
2.
The above Pianoforte in every respect, but of Mahogany.
3. Ditto Rosewood without extra ornament.
4. Ditto Mahogany.
5. Horizontal Square Pianoforte of 6
½ Octaves, three strings to each note, in Rosewood Case, ornamented, and
with solid Rosewood feet, lyre, &c. The same Mechanism as in the Grand
Pianoforte.
6.
Ditto in Rosewood, Plainer.
7.
Ditto in Mahogany.
8.
Ditto Ditto with two strings to each note.
9. Upright Grand Pianoforte, 6 ½ Octaves, in every point the same as No. 1, in Rosewood. The elevation ot new
design, with massive feet and ornaments of solid Rosewood.
10. Ditto in Rosewood, without ornaments.
11. Ditto in Mahogany.
12. Upright Semigrand Pianoforte, 6 ½ Octaves, in Rosewood, with solid plinths and feet, three strings to each
note, and the same mechanism as in the Grand Pianoforte.
13. Ditto Ditto in Mahogany with two strings to each note."

(continuation)
"Mr. G.
Kollman's Pianofortes. — The
first Pianoforte was a simple instrument, the happy improvement on the
harpsichord which suggested itself to the fertile mind of Gottlieb Schroeder
rather more than a century ago. Many improvements have since been effected,
for some of which, performers have been indebted to scientific men in no
wise connected with the profession; thus the covering the base strings with
wire, we owe to the suggestion of a literary gentleman attached to the
British Museum; and we doubt not that pianists are equally indebted in a
similar way for many other valuable additions to the mechanism of this
delightful instrument. The imperfection
of the pianoforte exists in the fact, that its strings are not
immediately acted on by the finger, or in other words, the mechanism
attached to the ivory note is but inadequately adapted to obey the every
varying and delicate impulses which agitate the mind of a finished performer
and well educated musician. Much however has been effected; and much more
appears to be attempting, a result which may probably be ascribed in some
measure to the visits of the wonder-working professors of the new school of
pianoforte composition — Thalberg and Doehler. The music now written for the
instrument, demands great power of tone — and of that quality which will
travel through a large and crowded room; a simultaneous grasp of distant
intervals, and a rapid enunciation of each note. Mr. Kollman, by his
invention, professes to have added improvements in regard to each of these
attributes. He states that he has gained the finest quality, and the great power of tone by certain peculiarities in the sound boardssion, and affording the utmost scope to a
facile execution. By a novel arrangemant of the screws, Mr. Kollman reports
himself to have arrived at a purer intonation, and this attained by the
simplest means. On Monday a numerous audience assembled in the Hanover
Square Kooms to witness an exhibition of the advantages which these
instruments are understood to possess. Mr- Kollman performed on the occasion
a sonata of his own composition, a concerto and grand trio by Beethoven, and
(with Miss Hippon) the adagio and finale in Hummel's duet in A flat. He was
assisted by Mrs. Bishop, Miss Birch, and Miss F. Woodham, vocalists; by
Messrs. Blagrove, Hauseman, and others, instrumentalists. We shall inspect
and try for ourselves Mr. Kollman's inventions; and shall then announce our
opinion of their merits. At present, it will be seen, we entirely withhold
any expression either of approbation or the contrary."
