"NEW PATENT SEMI-GRAND PIANOFORTE, Manufactured nr Messrs Bboadwood And Sons. ROBERT PURDIE respectfully announces the arrival of Messrs Broadwood's Newly-Invented PATENT SEMI-GRAND PIANOFORTE, Just Received at his Warehouse, being the only place in Scotland where those elegant and unique Instruments are to be seen. The Nobility, Gentry, and Music Professors, are invited to inspect and try those beautiful Instruments. The Semi-Grand Piano possesses great advantages, occupying much less space than the ordinary Horizontal Grand Piano, being very little larger than aSauare Pianoforte; they are in compass Six Octaves, from F to F, with two Unisons and a Metallic Plate; and although the Tone is not so powerful as Messrs Broadwood's Patent Grand Piano, yet of the same rich quality, and the touch delicate and light, with soft and loud Pedals. The Price is about one-third less than the Patent Grand Pianoforte.
R. PURDIE has also just received a large addition to his extensive Stock of Grand, Cabinet, and Square PIANOFORTES, both In Elegant and Plain Cases, with all the latest improvements; also Double and Singlo Movement HARPS. SPANISH GUITARS, in great variety, FLUTES, and other MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, too numerous tor the limits of an advertisement.
A variety of SECOND-HAND PIANOFORTES, at all prices, many of which are very little worse than new, having been only a few months In use. A very large assortment of NEW MUSIC, to which is regularly added all the New Publications of merit as soon as they appear in London. The MUSIC LIBRARY is extensive, and the New Publications added. Terms of Subscription the same as heretofore. Instruments Exchanged, Lent on Hire, Tuned, and Repaired, in pie best manner, In town and country, as usual., London Pianoforte Warehouse, No. 83, Prince's Street, opposite the Mound, Edinburgh, 23d April, 1831." The Edinburgh literary journal; or, Weekly register of criticism ..., Volume 5, 1831, p. 38

"LOW-PRICED PIANOFORTES. [...] In the choice of a pianoforte, so much must depend on the character of the maker for giving assurance of quality and durability, that the productions of makers as yet devoid of a name are generally felt to be unworthy of consideration. Nevertheless, having expressed a desire to see pianofortes brought down to twenty pounds, we feel bound to notice the first intimation which reached us of this being accomplished.
