BOHRER'S AUTOMATIC PIANO HAND GUIDE.
The above ingenious and most useful invention needs only to be seen and tested to establish its superior excellence. The following Testimonials,

I testify that the Automatic Legato Piano Hand Guide,
an invention of Mr. Win. Bohrer, of Montreal, Canada, is
very excellent and practical for the first years of pianoforte
