J. & J. HOPKINSON'S PIANOFORTES. Particular attention is drawn to the opinion expressed by the following celebrated Pianists and Musicians : THALBERG, Sir JULIUS BENEDICT, Sir HENRY BISHOP, and many others, that 'J. and J. HOPKINSON'S Pianofortes are unsurpassed in tone, touch, and general excellence by those of any other maker. The President of the Musical Jurors at the Paris Exhibition, 1878, says: The Metal-framed Grand and Cottage Pianofortes manufactured by J. and J. HOPKINSON are faultless.' 'I have had occasion to test HOPKINSON'S Pianos in London and in Paris, and I am bound to declare that, with regard to power, evenness of tone, and equality of touch, I have found them of rare excellence. They are instruments that all pianists ought to appreciate, for they allow them to give expression to their feelings, and to play with the most delicate nuances. (Signed) CH. GOUNOD.' 'The Grand Pianos of HOPKINSON, London, are very remarkable. All the qualities which can be demanded by an experienced virtuoso— vigour of attack, openness of sound, possibility to give the necessary shade to the music, and to produce effects of extreme delicacy-are found in HOPKINSON'S Pianofortes. They possess also a sonority of a crystalline nature, which gives them a certain charm and characterises their own personality. NICHOLAS RUBINSTEIN.' (Signed) '1 state with pleasure that the Grand Pianos of Messrs. J. and J. HOPKINSON, of London, which I have had the opportunity of hearing and of trying myself, are remarkable for their fabrication, and that they rival those of the best houses of Paris and London for their wonderful power and elasticity of touch. 'I should wish no other for my personal use, and to accompany me in my concerts. CH. NILSSON.' (Signed) From the Right Honourable Sir HENRY BARTLE FRERE, G.C.B., G.C.S.I., &c., late Governor of the Cape of Good Hope : 'Sir Bartle and Lady Frere have great pleasure in informing Messrs. HOPKINSON that the Grand Pianoforte manufactured by Messrs. HopKINSON, which was taken to the Cape Colony by Sir Bartle and Lady Frere in 1877, proved in every respect an admirable instrument. It stood all variations of climate perfectly; and the tone, which was remarkably rich and mellow, possessed a depth and fullness which showed no variation during the three and a half years they had it in the Cape Colony.' |
