THE Savannah, Ga,, M, ^d^^jgs,
of Sep-
tember 3d, contains a c jH^pensive and
well-arranged full-page advertisement of the
great Southern music house of Ludden & Bates,
in that city. This firm displays an amount of
enterprise in advertising that cannot fail to
produce the most gratifying results.
A PERMANENT musical society is to be organ-
ized at the Hobbie Music Hall, at Roanoke, Va.
THE piano case factory of J. H. Lackey has
been shut down for the past week at L,eominster,
Mass., owing to numerous extensions and im-
provements which are being made.
L33ON NESVIJISKI, a Russian infant phenome-
non pianist, who is only five years and three
months old, will start on a tour throughout
Europe. The child is said to be a marvelous
pianist, and reads the most difficult operatic
scores at first sight.

To all whom it may concern :
Be it know that I, Joseph Y. Druckenmiller,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Jen-
kintown, county of Montgomery, and State of
Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful
Improvement in Expression-Regulators for Pi-
anos, which improvement is fully set forth in
the following specifications and accompanying
drawings :
My invention consists of an attachment to a
piano, constructed substantially as hereinafter
described, whereby the character of the music
that is performed may be expressed or regulated.
Figure i represents a side elevation of a piano
expression-regulator, embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 represents a front view thereof on a re-
duced scale. Fig. 3 represents a bottom plan
view thereof. Fig. 4 represents a perspective
view thereof.
Similar letters of reference indicate corres-
sponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a
piano, which, excepting the features of my in-
vention applied thereto, is of usual construction.
To a portion of the case of the instrument, be-
neath the board, is pivoted the knee-piece, B.
whose inner end is provided with a roller, C,
which latter bears against a lever, D, which is
pivoted adjacent to said knee-piece.
E designates a vertically-arranged lever,
which is mounted within the body or case of
the instrument, and having its lower end en-
gaged by the lever, I), and its upper end pro-
vided with a roller, F, which bears against the
hammer rest rail or head, G, it being seen that
by the proper operation of the knee-piece, B,
the lever, E, may be caused to set the hammer
nearer to the strings, thus expressing or regula-
ting the character of the music that is performed.
Having thus described my invention, what I
claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is—
1.—An expression-regulator for a piano, con-
sisting of a pivoted knee-piece and two pivoted
levers adapted to be attached to the casing of
the piano, said parts being combined substan-
tially as described.
2.—An expression-regulator for a piano, con-
sisting of a knee-piece adapted to be pivoted to
the casing of a piano, and having a roller jour- oted lever within the piano-casing, having its tact with the hammer rest rail or head of the
naled on one end, a pivoted lever having one lower end in contact with one end of first men- piano, said parts being combined substantially
end in contact with said roller, a vertically-piv- tioned levers, and its upper end adapted to con- as described.
