R. J. HEATH & SONS, CARDIFF, PONTYPRIDD, AND LONDON PIANOFORTE & ORGAN MERCHANTS. (From South TVales Daily News, 9th January, 1894.) "VKRPICTOF NINE HUNDRED."—'Under this title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Cardiff, pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality of the musical instruments supplied by them. The firm is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Walesand the West of England, that it is hardly necessary here todwell upon its influence and command- ing position. This collection of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than to certify to the excellence of the 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 music, and how increasingly numerous, even in the homes of the working 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 weil-to-do, the greater number relate to serviceable instruments purchased 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 in tke 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, re€f'i viti" its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come froui other portions of the United Kingdom, and home from South America, India, and other distant eouutrlcs. All speak most favourably of Messrs. Heath's business methods as well as of their instruments.
