HAVE BEEN AWARDED THE
First Premium at the Great World's Fair in London, 1862,
FOR
POWER, FULL, CLEAR, BRILLIANT, AND SYMPATHETIC TONE,
IN COMBINATION WITH
Excellent Workmanship shown in Grand and Square Pianos.
There were 290 Piano-Fortes entered for competition from all parts of the world, and in order to show what sensation these instruments have created in the Old World, we subjoin a few extracts from leading European papers.
From the "London News of the World."
"These magnificent pianos, manufactured by Messrs. Steinway & Sons, of New York, are, without doubt, the musical gems of the Exhibition of 1862. They possess a tone that is the most liquid and bell-like we have ever heard, and combine the qualities of brilliancy and great power, without the slightest approach to harshness," &c.
