Vienna and Prague are the principal seats of the manu-facture of stringed and wind instruments, which are cele-brated for purity of tone and cheapness, and are conse-quently articles of considerable export. Also in otherparts of Bohemia and the Archduchy of Austria , and inLombardy , excellent musical instruments are made.
The Vienna pianoforte is considered to possess a full andbeautiful tone, easy touch, elegant and light shape. Themanufacturers endeavoured to adapt the mechanism of theinstruments to the taste of the various countries. Thefew specimens in the Exhibition deserve attention, also forthe tasteful cabinet-work of the cases.
Besides Vienna, at Prague, Gratz, Presburg , and otherplaces in Austria , pianofortes of equally good quality aremanufacture d.
Ilarmonicons, both large and small, the latter of winchare rather to be considered as toys, are extensively madein Vienna of good quality, and are largely exported.Musical boxes from Prague are also exported in largequantities.]
