" riiere is a piano twenty-five years old; the keys
and hammers are worn out, but the action is in ex-
cellent condition to day." The action alluded to
was one from Herrburger-Schwander, which has a

lence. William Tonk & Bro. have done so well with
tlu'se actions that they are obliged to Increase their
facilities, and have taken four lloors, 2fixl00, No. 26
Warren St., which they will occupy after May 1.

new and useful invention in pipe organs. The object
of the invention is to construct a pipe organ of two
sections, one carrying a bank of keys, and the other

cupy but a minimum amount of space for transporta-
tion, and may be readily carried through a door of or.
dinary size without taking the organ to pieces, as
has heretofore been necessary.

25,000th piano, our printers made a mistake and set
it up 75,000th piano. We make this correction so that
