BIO

1890 - "Waddington Bros., Pianoforte Manufacturers, 9, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds. The extraordinary success attained by the wellknown firm of Messrs. Waddington Bros., pianoforte manufacturers, of York, and No. 9, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, is a striking instance of the results of well-directed energy and enterprise. This extensive business dates back in its foundation to the year 1840, when it was established in York by Mr. William Alfred Waddington, and from a comparatively small establishment the manufactory has developed into the largest works of the kind in the provinces. This gentleman was succeeded by Messrs. William Henry, Alfred, and Walter Waddington in 1881, who commenced business in Park Row, Leeds, in 1882, and in the year following removed to the present extensive and commodious premises. These comprise a very handsome shop and well-appointed showrooms above, in which is a very fine display of pianofortes of the firm's own manufacture. It is interesting to note that Messrs. Waddington Bros. have been awarded several prize medals, not only for excellence of manufacture, but also for special improvements introduced into the construction of their pianofortes. The medals awarded to Messrs. Waddington Bros. were gained at the exhibitions held in York, 1866; Leeds, 1875; York, 1879; Edinburgh, 1886; Newcastle, 1887; and Saltaire, 1887; and pianos of their manufacture were exhibited at the recent Glasgow International Exhibition and the Cardiff and South Wales Exhibition. The firm also possess numerous testimonials, expressing the highest encomiums of praise, from many of the most eminent professors and artistes of the day. The manufactory at York, as before intimated, is THE largest and most complete in the provinces, being replete with all the most improved machinery and appliances. Upwards of 100 skilled and experienced workmen are constantly employed in the various departments. Messrs. Waddington Bros. have a stock of over five hundred pianos in their showrooms and warehouse. They are of the best quality only, and guaranteed for ten years. Messrs. Waddington Bros. are also the sole agents in the United Kingdom for the well-known and popular Hamilton Organ, the special features of which are superior power and quality of tone. The business connections of this firm are of a very widespread and influential character, and besides their extensive home trade they have a very large and rapidly increasing export business, the firm being well represented in the American and colonial markets. All the partners take an active part in the business, and the increasing popularity of their pianos is well attested by the enormous sales, and the continued demands upon the resources of the manufactory for their production." The industries of Yorkshire, 1890, p. 134

"UNA-CORDA, PATENT SELF-ADJUSTING PIANO-FORTE. - R. Wales, 33, Charles-street, Hampstcad Road, near the end of Tottenham-court-road, Inventor and Manufacturer of the above unique Instrument, solicits the attention of the Musical Profession and the Public in general. The Una-Corda Piano-Forte is strung throughout with steel-wire, by which an equal temperament is preserved; and having only one string to each note, the insufferable discordance, occasioned by bad unisons, is entirely removed. It possesses a quality of tone superior in strength and sweetness to Piano-Fortes manufactured on the old principle ; it is found to stand years in tune; the strings are not liable to break, on account of their thickness and strength. Added to which, the tuning pins, being perforated strings, may be put on by the most delicate hand. R. W. manufactures also, on the lowest terms, Cabinet, Grand, and Square Piano-Fortes on the most approved principles." The Harmonicon, William Ayrton, 02/1827, p. 90

"PIANO-FORTES - NOT REQUIRING TO BE TUNED. - Grand, Cabinet, Square, and Vocalist Piano-fortes, of the Una-Corda (or Mono-chord) Patent Spring, Self-adjusting mode, may be procured at the Patentee's Manufactory,
R. WALES, 33, CHARLES STREET, Opposite the Reservoir, end of Tottenham Court Road, At Prices much below those made on the Old Construction, and will be found to stand in tune from One to Eight Years; the Inventor solicits the inspection of the Musical World, and persons about to purchase, to these highly-esteemed Piano-fortes, N.B. Old Instruments taken in Exchange." The Harmonicon, 04/1830, p. 258

(continuation)

"PIANO-FORTES - CONSTRUCTED SO AS TO KEEP IN TUNE FOR YEARS. R. WALES - Returns his best thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, for the patronage he has received for many years, and begs to inform them he has opened an EXTENSIVE WAREHOUSE, No. 11, RED LION Square, HOLBORN, for the SALE of his highly-approved INSTRUMENTS, on the Patent Spring Una-Corda (or Monochord) self-adjusting principles, in Grands, Cabinets, Cottages, Vocalists, and Squares, which will be found worthy of attention. Manufactory as usual, 33, Charles Street, Hampstead Road, established 1810." The Harmonicon, William Ayrton, 06/1830, p. 267

"WALES'S NEW PATENT QUADRILATERAL GRAND PIANO-FORTE. - R. WALES, Inventor and Manufacturer of the Patent Spring Una-corda Self-adjusting Piano-forte, respectfully invites the Musical Profession, Amateurs, and the Patrons of Art in general, to the inspection of a Square Piano-forte upon an entirely novel principle, embracing all the advantages in tone and action of a Grand Piano, and obviating, by the extreme compactness and elegance of its construction, the objection to which the clumsy and unaccommodating form of the Horizontal Grand Piano-forte has hitherto been subject. R. Walks lias been for some years engaged in the construction of this Square Instrument upon the Grand principle—an object, till now, considered unattainable; and in the confident anticipation of Public Patronage, submits it to general inspection at his Ware Rooms, No. 11, Red Lion Square, Holborn."

A two vears warranty given with each instrument. ESTABLISHED TWENTY-ONE YEARS. The only house in London where a good sound instrument can be obtained at the above low price, (for cash only). SMALL PROFIT AND QUICK RETURNS ! JOHN WARREN, 71, Leadenhall St., opposite Aldeate Pomp." The Musical World, Volume 22, 1847, p. 402

"Cheap Pianoforte.—Cheapness is extending, like a new sunrise, over all the branches of the arts cud sciences. We paid a visit, last week, to Warren's Pianoforte Manufactory, Leadenhall Street, and were much surprised to find a capital new instrument, purchaseable at twenty guineas. We also saw some Piccolos, very superiorly made, at eighteen guineas. This is cheapness with a vengeance, and must ensure an extraordinary sale. We should like to know whence Mr. Warren's profits can come. Pianofortes new, and really good, at the above prices, is a type of the present antimonopolizing times, when men will sacrifice themselves to outdo their neighbours. We hope Mr. Warren does make a profit." The Musical World, 29/05/1847, p. 352

"A.D. 1865, June 15. — N° 1623. Way, George Edgar. — (A communication from Maurice Vergnes.) —  Improvements in the manufacture of pianofortes. These improvements have reference to two former inventions, for which see Abridgments dated respectively April 20th, 1864, No. 992, and July 4th, 1864, No. 1662 : By the present improvements a good length of string is obtained for square pianofortes, while the width of the case is little more than the length of the key-board; a good repetition action is also secured, and a simple means of adjusting the touch is provided. The strings are carried by an open rectangular metal frame, in which the wrest planks are fixed. Beneath the frame is the sound board of a rectangular form to fill the space enclosed by the case or nearly so. The bridge for the middle and treble strings extends in a curved line from the further left-hand corner of the sound board to the right-hand side of the instrument near the treble wrest plank, and the lower bass strings cross the other strings at a sufficient height to be clear of the bridge;

(continuation)

they pass from the near left corner of the frame to a short bridge at the further right corner of the frame and thence to a wrest plank. In the improved action, the hammer is held up by a spring connected to the butt, and when at its highest position it bears against the under side of the key; it is acted on by a hopper which is jointed to a piece fixed to the under side of the key. This piece carries also a bracket, which serves as a guide for a screw pin and adjusting button projecting horizontally from the back of the hopper. Projecting from the back rail is a bracket, to which is jointed a padded back check held in a perpendicular position by a small spring; an arm of the check carries a screw pin, at the upper end of which is a button coming into contact with a pad on the under side of the key. In order to lift the key to its normal position its rear end is connected by a cord to a metal spring mounted on the back rail."

"Wheatstone's Ten Guinea Harmonium, manufactured expressly for churches, chapels, schools, &c., is made on a greatly-Improved construction, combines all the latest Improvements, and is manufactured solely by them. It has the compass of five octaves, an expression stop, and possesses a powerful rich quality of tone, answers with the greatest rapidity to the touch, and can be produced loud or soft at pleasure. It has a substantial oak case, can be warranted in every respect, and is indispensable to the school-room, singing-class, etc. The Ten Guinea Harmonium will be taken in exchange for any more expensive ones at full price if required. The more expensive Harmoniums, with from three to ten stops, range from 16 to 30 guineas. They are equally adapted to the church or drawing-room. For the former, it will be found most valuable, and in many respects preferable to the organ. Messrs. WHEATSTONE obtained the only Great Exhibition Prize for Harmoniums in 1851.The MECHANICAL and FINGER HARMONIUM, which can be used mechanically or not, without any preparation. This is a perfectly new invention of Messrs. Wheatstone and Co., and can be aeen only at their warerooms. This instrument will be found to be particularly useful when the Harmonium performer cannot always attend. The PIANO HARMONIUM is made expressly for playing by the same performer with tho Pianoforte. Price Twelve Guineas. Messrs. WHEATSTONE and CO., have Just received a large assortment of the ALEXANDRE HARMONIUM, for which Messrs. Alexandre et Flls received the French medal of honour. Including the different Instruments with and without the percussion action, and that with the expression a la main, at reduced prices. These Harmoniums have been brought to the greatest perfection, and are equally adapted as an accompaniment to the voice or pianoforte, and have been pronounced the best by Adam, Auber, Liszt, Rossini, Thalberg. &c. Also the SIX GUINEA HARMONIUM, or rather Seraphlne, with 4 octaves, suitable for Sunday-schools and small Binging-classes. WHEATSTONE and CO., 20, Conduit-street, Regent-street, London."

"701. Sir Charles Wheatstone's Resonating Tube. W. Groves. By moving a piston up and down, and thus diminishing or enlarging the resonator, a perfect two-octave scale of aliquot parts may be produced from a spring, which would otherwise sound but one note. The scale may thus be played as rapidly as by the fingers upon a pianoforte. Set the spring in vibration by a twang with the forefinger of the left hand, and draw the piston with the right hand.

WHEATSTONE & Co (*1857)

Patent of 1836 : "July 27, 1836. — Charles Wheatstone. Continuous sounds produced from pianoforte strings or springs, by means of currents of air which pass through apertures slightly wider than the body the air vibrates." The History of the Pianoforte, Edgar Brinsmead, 1879, p. 205 (archive.org) & "A.D. 1836, July 27. — N° 7164. WHEATSTONE, Charles, and GREEN, John. — A new method or methods of forming musical instruments in which "continuous sounds are produced from strings, wires, or springs.
1. In this method of forming musical instruments continuous sounds are produced from strings, wires, or springs (stretched between fixed supports at their ends) "by means of a current of "air, which is directed upon a limited portion of the vibrating "length of the particular string, wire, or spring from which "continuous sound is for the time being required to be produced." By continuous sounds are meant those sounds which may be continued "so long as the exciting cause is applied, as those of "the organ or violin, in contradistinction to abrupt and evanescent "sounds, as those of the pianoforte or harp." The aforesaid portion of the vibrating length of the string, wire, or spring must be adapted or adjusted "to a slit or linear aperture through "which the current of air passes, and the width of which must "be a little greater than the diameter of the said string, wire, "or spring." Various methods of producing these sounds are described.
2. A method whereby a hammer "such as is used in piano "fortes" is caused to strike each string, wire, or spring at the same instant that the valve is opened to act upon the same.
3. A method whereby continuous sounds corresponding to different notes of the musical scale are produced from the same string, wire, or spring by means of a current of air.
4. A method whereby in addition to 3, the same pressure of the finger (with or without the intervention of a stop), which causes the vibrating length of such string, &c. to be shortened, also causes a simultaneous opening of the valve, by which the wind is allowed to act on the string, &c.
5. A method wherein the wind chest is divided by a partition into two compartments, each furnished with valves so arranged in respect to the bellows, that the current or currents of air by which continuous sounds are to be produced is always forced in the same direction through each aperture to which a string, &c. is adjusted, as well when the bellows is in the act of being drawn out as when it is being pressed in.

BIO-ADV

1890 - "W. R. Whitelock, Importer of Foreign and Dealer in English Pianofortes, Boar Lane and Albion Street, Leeds. It is particularly interesting to meet with a business of such old standing and extensive connections as that of Mr. W. R. Whitelock, importer of foreign and dealer in English pianofortes. It is now more than seventy years ago since the grandfather of the present proprietor commenced business as an organ builder and pianoforte manufacturer at Armley, near Leeds. Several members of this family have also been practically engaged in this industry,, as the father and uncles of Mr. W. R. Whitelock entered extensively into the business, and this gentleman himself, having thoroughly mastered the trade by extended experience in Newcastle-on-Tyne, commenced business at Armley in 1877. Owing to the rapid development of the business and the necessity for increased accommodation, he removed to New Station Street, Leeds, and subsequently acquired the present extensive and commodious premises at the corner of Boar Lane and Albion Street. This is a large four-storied building, having a very extensive floor area, and forms a handsome and attractive feature of this busy neighbourhood. The large and valuable stock of instruments in this well-known depôt includes pianofortes and harmoniums by the best English and Continental makers, including such well-known names as Görs and Kallman, of Berlin, Rudolf, Ibach, Sohn, of Barmen, and Collard & Collard, Kirkman, &c., and many other leading English makers. These instruments are remarkable for their elegant designs, richness, sweetness, and power of tone. They are made in every variety of choice hardwoods, such as ebony, walnut, rosewood, &c., and in their construction are replete with all the most recent improvements. ->

(continuation)

 These instruments are offered on the most reasonable terms consistent with the exigencies of trade. Mr. Whitelock has also most successfully introduced into his business the hire-purchase system, extending over one, two, and three years. And in this connection it may be mentioned that the success of this system is due almost wholly to the generous and lenient treatment by Mr. Whitelock of his customers who, having purchased on the hire plan, have been unable to continue their payments. In such cases Mr. Whitelock has never taken any undue advantage, but, on the other hand, has given every possible assistance, and the result is, and always will be, a mutual and lasting benefit to all concerned. Any instrument purchased from him may be exchanged free of charge within twelve months of date of purchase if not approved of, thus allowing customers ample time to be perfectly assured of the value of the instrument selected. All instruments are also marked. in plain figures. The business throughout is conducted with marked ability, energy, and enterprise, and it is no flattery to state that there are few men better known or more highly esteemed in business circles than the proprietor of this extensive and highly popular establishment. Mr. W. R. Whitelock, as before intimated, possesses the advantage of long and thorough practical experience, and by his well-known integrity.. spirited enterprise, and genial courtesy has secured the esteem and confidence of a very widespread and valuable connection."
