THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW.
SOMETHING NEW IN PIANO PANELS.
D. PEASE, New York, has succeeded in sub-
stituting in place of the wooden fret-worked
• panel now used in upright pianos, an elegant
embossed glass panel.
Many efforts have been made heretofore to find
something that would take the place of the wooden
fret-work, but, all have proved unsuccessful. Mr.
Pease has, however, by a great deal of experiment-
ing, reached the result sought after. This embossed
glass panel can be made in every variety of designs
• and figures raised above the glass surface, and yet
forming a part of the whole. The advantages to be
derived from this new invention of Mr. Pease's are that
it effectually does away with any "checking," it can
always be kept in a high state of polish by the most
•simple means, and it being glass, of course is trans-
parent, giving the opportunity to place any kind of
back ground behind the design, it also being easy to
make the design itself as elaborate as wished for,
which is impossible with the wooden fret-work. It
also does away with any collection of dust, which is
a bothersome thing in the ordinary panel.
Mr. Pease will soon be able to make this new pat-
ent in large quantities, when we expect to see it used
in the majority of upright pianos. In the mean-
time this new improvement can be seen at Mr. Pease's
factory, at No. 322 West 43d street, New York.

TRIBUTE TO THE MILLER ORGAN CO.
PITTSBURGH, June 9, 1885.
MILLER ORGAN CO., Lebanon.
GENTLEMEN :—We are highly pleased with your
organs. They have given perfect satisfaction wher.
ever we have sold them. We have examined them
thoroughly, and find the construction and workman-
ship to be first-class, while the cases are handsome.
We find them very saleable—more so than any other
organ we have handled for some time. All they need
is to be seen to be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
LECHNER & SOHOENBERGER.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

EMBERS of the music trade who are Boston-

restaurant, where excellent meals are to be had. It
is a great resort for the trade, being in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of many of the leading piano
warerooms. Below we relate what happend at Wach-
