by Edwin Ward Jackson

From Henry Blagrove, Professor of the Royal Academy of Music; Leader of the Philharmonic Society; of the Musical Society of London., &c., &c.

July 22nd, 1865.

“On perusal of your MS. relative to the development of the muscles of the hands, &c., as applied to musicians, I have great pleasure in offering you my testimony to its being a valuable adjunct to musical tuition where mechanical action is required, such as for the piano, or violin and violoncello. I think it shortens the usual routine of practising to gain strength, and will give at once freedom and force to the hand, fingers, arm, &c.”

“I am convinced that Mr Jackson’s invention for the development of the muscles of the fingers and hand will be of great value to musical students.”
