28BRETT PIANOS.
29With Patent Micrometer System of Stringing and Tuning.
30THE accompanying cut represents a cross cut section of the Brett Patent Micrometer system of stringing and tuning, showing the wood back A, the tuning head and straining frame B B, micrometer tuning plates C, steel tuning screws D, string hooks E, strings G, sounding board H.
31It can be seen by a careful examination of this cut that in this system the wooden wrest plank in which the tuning pins in other pianos are placed, and that portion of the wood back which supports it, is discarded and an iron tuning head substituted, which is strengthened by bars, angles and flanges all cast in one piece of metal together with the plate and iron frame in one form, after the most perfect manner of architectural iron work. It is so perfectly rigged and possesses such great strength that it will support the entire strain of the strings for a hundred years without the slightest deflection or change. The immense strength and solidity of this construction produces remarkable results in tone production. The tone has the brilliancy, firmness, carrying quality, depth and power characteristic of the grand piano.
32The Micrometer principle embodied in this system of construction is infinitely more valuable than all the modern alleged improvements in piano construction combined. Mechanically and artistically considered, it is the most ornamental, symmetrical, beautiful and perfect model of a piano that we ever saw.
33The action and all material of which the Brett Piano is constructed is of the highest grade. In quality and volume of tone, in perfection and durability of construction, the Brett Piano outranks every piano (without an exception) manufactured in this country.
34Pianists and others who want a piano that will compare favorably with the highest grade manufactured will find the Brett Piano the most desirable and valuable. We have letters indorsing the superior merits of the Brett Piano from the following distinguished pianists: Calixa Lavallée, H. L. Whitney, Boston; William Courtney, L. G. Parma, A. R. Parsons, S. B. Mills, New York; Constantine Sternberg, and a large number of others. For prices, &c., please address one of two readings
