HEATH & SONS, CARDIFF, PONTYPRIDD, AND LONDON PIANOFORTE & ORGAN MERCHANTS. (From South Wales Daily News, 9th January, 1894.) "VERDICT OF NINE HUNDRED."—Under thia title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, Eianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- ousemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The tirm is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardiv necessary here todwelluponitsinnuence and commaua- mg position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than to certify to the excellence of the instruments furnished by Meeem. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how Bteady is the growth among tbe general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the working classes, are pianoe, organs, and harmoniums The great majority of tbe letters in this list relate to pianos, and while many of them have reference to most costly instruments, con- taining all the latest improvements, supplied to tne well-to-do, the greater number relate to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wace-earn- ing portion of tbe community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though in the Principality music has for genera- tions been the chief recreation of the people, it has for the most part been choral music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instrumental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all these in true sympathy with the art must trust that the attvemej!t will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom. and some from South America. India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's bu&iness methods as well as of their instruments. H. J. HEATH AND SONS INVITE INSPECTION.
