Clement: Dear Sir, - My opinión of the Haines Piano? It is one of the best instruments made. I say it unhesitatingly. In judging an instrument, three things are considered: The tone, action and wearing qualities. The tone of the Haines Piano is remarkably sweet, the action well tempered, and the wearing qualities as good as any in the market. Yours re3pectfully, JULIUS V. SEYLER. Read what the American Musician, New York, has to say of Mr. Seyler's ability: Julius V. Seyler has met with most enthusiastic reception whenever he has appeared, since his return frotn Berlin, where he has spent two years under Professor X. Scharwenka. His first concert was at the Detroit Opera House, October lst. He played the F minor Fantaisia, by Chopin, a group of pieces by the Schwarwenka Brothers, and the 12th Rhapsodie Hungroise, by Liszt. His playing is virile, unctious, and consummately artistic, and his success immediate and pronounced. He has since played at Ann Arbor, under the auspices of Professor A. A. Stanley, of the University of Michigan, and at Ypsilanti, under the auspices of Professor F. H. Pease, of the State Normal School. At both places his reception fairly amounted to an ovation. - American Musiciant . Nov. 2, 1889. We think you will acknowledge that Mr. Seyler is competent to judge on the merits of a piano and knows what he is talking about. Oür Genial County Clerk is Satisfied. Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 16, 1889iMr. Lew H. Clement: Dear Sir,- The Haines Bros. Piano we bought of you some months ago, is wtiolly satisfactory to us and a source of continued favorable comment from our friends. If any one wants to know what we think of it, say anything in its praise, and you can't put it too strong. Yours, FRED A. HOWLETT. Haines Bros. were established la 1851 by Mr. Napoleon J. Haines, who is still actively at work in hn new iactory, arected about one year ago, and which ia considerecl by every piano manufacturar in New York City to be one oí the largwrt and best appointed faetones in America. Small dears. who seli inferior instruments, and those but little known in the market. endeavor to claim that testimoniáis from prominent artista mean nothing; that they are all purchased and can be obtained for any piano by paying for them. We will defy any piano maker or any dealer to show us a testimonial equal to the above for any instrument whatever which does not stand among the trade as a first-class instrument, among which are Steinway, Knabe, Haines Bros., and others of equal merit. A first-class piano can get first-class testimoniáis from first-class artists; but no artist will lower himself in the estimation of musical people by giving testimoniáis for inferior instruments. If you desire to know more of these standard instruments, we shall be glad to show them to you and furnish you further testimoniáis, catar logues, and price lists. Factory, Cor.
