John Weeks Moore

Summary

John Weeks Moore Complete Encyclopaedia of Music… (1880)

All pianists and manufacturers of the instrument have long felt that artistic skill and mechanical ingenuity had vainly essayed to banish that woodiness of sound, and want of sustained vibration, that attended the emission of its tone. The Aeolian Attachment not only removes the evils that are inherent in the piano-forte, but imparts to it a distinctive vibratory and sustaining power, combining the rich volume and swell of the organ with the passionate intensity and pathetic tenderness elicited from an Amati, or a Straduarius, by a gifted violinist.
