"I have attentively examined the beautiful piauos of Messrs John Brinsmead and Sons, that are exhibited at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878. I consider them to be exceptional in the caso with which gradations of sound can be produced, from the softest to the most powerful tones. These excellent pianos merit the approbation of all artists, as the tone is full as well as sustained, and the touch is of perfect evenness throughout its entire range, answering to every require- ment of the pianist."
