| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | A prominent house engaged as music publishers and piano manufacturers is the well known firm of Messrs. Willis Woodward & Co., Nos. 842 aud 844 Broadway, which was established by the present proprietors in 1878, and since its foundation at that date has obtained a liberal and influential patronage. As music publishers they issue Woodward's Musical Monthly, a publication that has received the highest commendation from the press, professionals and the general public. The circulation of this admirable work has already reached twelve thousand copies per month. The premises occupied are commodious and elegant, and are completely stocked with grand, square and upright pianos of their own manufacture, Stratton's violins, flutes, German accordeons, banjos, guitars, metronomes, music folios, etc. These musical instruments are the very best of their kind in the market; the pianos especially contain all tha latest improvements of any merit or value, and every one is fully warranted for five years. The same perfect workmanship is applied to the manufacture of the case as to the action and scale. The tone of Woodward's pianos is rich and powerful, possessing rare singing quality, and this, combined with their elegance, durability and workmanship, makes them the most desirable instruments in the market. The factory is located at Bridgeport, Conn., and is admirably equipped with all the latest machinery and appliances, employment being given to a large number of highly skilled workmen. Every piano undergoes a thorough inspection by experts, who are under the immediate supervision of Mr. Joseph Keller, the manager, and so rigid are the tests applied that every instrument sold by the firm may be said to be as near perfection as art and talent can make it. These instruments are sold at prices which are as low as can be named for first-class pianos. The individual members of this co-partnership are Messrs. Willis and F. W. Woodward, the former a native of Galena, Ill., and the latter of Connecticut. Both gentlemen are highly esteemed in social and commercial circles. |
