MAJOR GLEIG
LONDON - "15. Major Gleig claims for his upright pianos the following principal features, which are new :
1. The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which has to take the pull of the strings.
2. The sounding-board.
3. The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take too much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the piano has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those parts which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so massive, that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they appear to have been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's sounding-board possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in ordinary instruments, and the increased length obtained in the vibrating section of the string conduces to fuller and richer tone than heretofore. The coating of the hammers is of one piece of felt, and in this respect resembles the coating adopted some time since, and occasionally used by In future pianos Major Gleig will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of is construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument, he may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments, the present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not quick enough." Journal of the Royal Society of Arts, 11/10/1872, p. 890-891

MARDON Wiliam MELOPHONICON
"NEW INSTRUMENT. — A pianoforte upon a novel and elegant construction has recently been brought before the musical world, by Mr. W. Mardon. The instrument, which is termed the Melophonicon, is of great power and compass, and possesses a combination of excellences rarely to be found. These excellences, it would appear, are more or less ensured by some union of the principles of the harp, the symmetrical shape of which it bears a resemblance to, together with those of the piano. The inventor has already received royal patronage and a royal commission: an example which will, doubtless, be followed by many of our aristocracy, to the advantage and advancement of an ingenious and deserving individual." The Illustrated London News, 29/10/1842, p. 395

M's great experience in the Trade, being employed in Messrs. Broadwood's establishment nearly thirty years ago, he may say he is enabled to judge of the merits of each Maker's Instruments as regards purity and Quality of Tone, Elasticity of Touch, Excellence of Material and Workmanship, and Standing well in Tune. J. M. being a great Exporter of Pianofortes, and knowing the difficulties that have to be contended with as regards their Standing in Tune in Extreme Climates, has spared neither Trouble nor Expense in the Manufacture of his Instruments (with Metallic Plates, Metal Bracings, Eve.) to obviate this evil, and J. M. is happy to say he has been successful. (see next )

MAYOR GLEIG
LONDON - "15. Major Gleig claims for his upright pianos the following principal features, which are new : — 1. The plan of construction of the framing or body of the instrument, which has to take the pull of the strings. 2. The sounding-board. 3. The string-plate. Without entering into the details, which would take too much space, one may be permitted to say that the construction of the piano has been carried out in accordance with scientific theories. Those parts which Major Gleig conceives it necessary to make strong are so massive, that, compared with the works of old-established firms, they appear to have been overdone. There can be no doubt that Major Gleig's sounding-board possesses vibrating qualities superior to those in ordinary instruments, and the increased length obtained in the vibrating section of the string conduces to fuller and richer tone than heretofore. The coating of the hammers is of one piece of felt, and in this respect resembles the coating adopted some time since, and occasionally used by Messrs. Broadwood. In future pianos Major Gleig will probably be able to reduce some of the lavishness of his construction, and being now sure of obtaining a richly-toned instrument, he may diminish, by producing at the same time a number of instruments, the present price of £84. The touch is heavy, and the response is not quick enough." Journal of the Royal Society of Arts, 1872, p. 890-891

Patent of 1817 : "ISAAC ROBERT MOTT, Brighton, composer and teacher of music, for a method of producing, from vibrating substances, a tone or musical sound, the peculiar powers in the management whereof are entirely new, and which musical instrument he denominates The Sostinent Piano Forte." The Edinburgh monthly magazine, 1817, p. 440 - or - "Feb. I, 1817. — Isaac Mott. The Sostinente piano-forte produces a sustaining tone through the strings being vibrated by a revolving roller, by means of silken lines attached to them. A movable bridge presses against the centre of the strings, and produces the harmonic octave effect by dividing them into two equal lengths." The History of the Pianoforte, Edgar Brinsmead, 1879, p. 201 (archive.org)
Patent of 1846 : "Isaac Henry Robert Mott, of No. 76, Strand, pianoforte maker, for certain improvements in (April 28.) musical instruments, whereby they are rendered much more durable, much more capable of resisting the injurious and destructive effects of the atmosphere (especially of extreme climates), and whereby the quality of their tone is greatly improved and remains good for a much longer period, 6 months. April 28." The Patent Journal and Inventors' Magazine, Volume 1, 1846, p. 15
LONDON - "Mr. Mott exhibits a grand, 7 ½ Octaves, F to C, with a seraphine of 5 octaves applied thereto under the front part of the instrument, and thus forming two claviers. A solo may be performed on one of them, and an accompaniment on the other; or, by means of couplers, they may both be played together." Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851, p. 36

"I. H. R. Motts Advice and Instructions for playing the Piano Forte with Expression and brilliant Execution, containing numerous Examples and interesting Pieces, fingered for Practice and accompanied by careful Directions for performing them with delicacy and feeling, together with much useful Information on the Nature and Principles of Music. London. Mott. - Mr. Isaac Henry Robert Mott is the inventor of the Patent Sostenente Piano Fortes, which seem, in his own unbiased judgment, far to exceed any that have been produced by our Broadwoods or our Stodarts. According to the same indubitable authority, he is a very great performer on those instruments ; indeed we are given to understand that no one else can make much of them. He is likewise a composer of a superlative class; and, in the present instance, he comes before us as a didactic writer. So vast an accumulation of talent must needs appear very extraordinary, and it would hardly be credible, did not Mr. Isaac Henry Robert Mott prove the fact, that one individual could manufacture the piano forte, perform on the piano forte, compose for the piano forte, and teach others how to become great on the piano forte. To this we may add, that our author seems to be the child of delicate sensibility and fine taste. His musical knowledge is also mixed up with divinity, metaphysics, and poetry, and is conveyed to us in a style of English almost without a parallel. We have already said enough to prepare our readers for a production of no ordinary kind, and we can assure them that they will not be disappointed. At the same time they will be delighted to observe that Mr. Mott, even in his loftiest flights, is a man of business; has his eye constantly fixed on the main chance; and can recommend his own admirable productions in a strain of modesty which we should think peculiar to himself, did we not remember the celebrated addresses of that highly respectable lady who presides over the Moravian establishment in London. Our only wonder is—how such excellence should have been so long concealed from public notice, either at No. 24, Dover-street, Piccadilly, or at 92, Pall Mall. We, however, have made the happy discovery, and we shall now proceed to lay our readers uneverlasting obligations by giving to them all the benefit of it."
