.1ho action of the now instrument
is the sainj as in other pianos ; it has.
the usual numuber of octaves and pod..!

soft to loud, aind 4,; far superior -in
richness and depth, and is as clear
'and sweet as cani b) inil gin1ed. The.,
peculiar feature of the invention is
that, iistead of strings stretched

'Otie hook of each tongue beirg half
the leigth of tho other, yields a tone
an oiitavo higher, thus each stroko of
the hammor produces tLwo notes an1
