Show A Piano Tor the Vatican. A London correspondent hears of a magnificent piano which has been manufactured by one of our leading makers for the Vatican. The instrument instru-ment is valued at 500 guineas, and is enriched with the latest improvements, including a sostenuto pedal. Not only has the greatest care been bestowed on touch and tone, but the case of this piano has also been the object of exceeding ex-ceeding care. It is decorated with tea roses on a dull, gold ground, and varnished with vernis royal, which, while imparting to the instrument an unusually brilliant bril-liant appearance, enhances considerably considera-bly the sonority and sweetness of its tone. |
