J. HEATH & SONS, CARDIFF, PONTYPRIDD, AND LONDON PIANOFORTE k ORGAN MERCHANTS. (From South Wales baily Xcws, 9th January, 1894.) "VKUXK-TO) Nixk H i-i). "-Under this title Messrx. R. J. Heath and Sons. Queen-Street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing army of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The tirm is so we'll known in Cardiff, and. indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here to dwell u|x>n its influence and command- ing position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than to certify to the excellence of tiiu instruments furnished by Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a sense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of inusie, and how increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the woikiug classes, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums The great majority of the 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 the well-to-do, the greater numhcr relate to serviceable instruments puichased for the homes of the wage-earn- ing portion of the community. This growing' love for so refining an art as music is a most favourable sign. For though iu the Principality itiu,ic 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 those in true sympathy with the art mu-t trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials hal(o been received from every (quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and "omc from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's business methodsas well as of their iustrumcu Us. K. J. HKATiFAXJ) SONS INVITE INSPECTION. FULL ILLUSTRATED LIST AND VERDICT POST FREE.
