And are preferred by the conscientious Musical Instructors and Musicians. The “North American Review” says of the cele- brated SOHMER PIANOS: »»—> They combine every qual ch one can expect in a good instrume nobility, elasticity and. utmost clearness of tone, and never fails, added to which a perfect evenness of touch renders them as near tion as has been thus far attained. Their touch unites with absolute pi delicacy and pliability, and a most happy responsive quality not found in the it- struments of any other maker. While the present firm of Sohmer lee & Co. was founded in 1872, its existence’ really extends further back than 1860, Its author and head, Mr. Hugo Sob: coming of a good family in comfortable circumstances, was given a finished scie- tific and literary education, at the same time acquiring a thorough knowledge of music and the pianoforte, was apprenticed to piano-making in the factory of Schuetze and Ludolph. Thor oughly learning his trade, he returned to Europe in 1868, and traveled in the variow: capitals, studying piano-making from every possible standpoint. In 1870 he rel turned to New York, and in 1872 commenced embodying in practical form the ideas which his training and travel had brought, His partner was Mr, Josep Kuder, who still continues in the firm—who studied the art and trade thoroughly in the Vienna shops, and added experience gained in the shops of prominent makers. At present the firm consists, in addition to Messrs, Sohmer and Kuder. of Charles Fahr and George.Reichmann, each member being in charge of a special department. The concern now has, addition to its extensive warehouse ot! Fourteenth Street and Third Avenue, a new fantory at Astoria, which is the most magnificent and complete in the country. Even with the present average produc tion of the firm, which is forty pianos a week, it is yet insufficient to supply the demand, the firm being to-day largely in arrears of its orders.
