Music. Mr. Victor, Musician to her late Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales, and Organist at St. Georges in London,
lately arrived here, takes this method of acquainting the
musical gentry in general, that he gives instructions on the
Harpsichord, or Forte Piano, Violin, German Flute, &c.
especially in the thorough bass both in theory and practice,
so that his pupils may soon come to a fundamental knowledge
of that fine science.
N.B. Mr. Victor intended to give a concert, and to perform
on his new musical instruments, but is obliged to postpone
it for want of able hands; the one he calls Trom ba doppic
con Tympana, on which he plays the first and second trumpet
and a pair of annexed kettle drums with the feet, all at
once; the other is called cymbaline de amour, which
resembles the musical glasses played by harpsichord keys,
never subject to come out of tune, both of his own
invention. He is to be met with at his house in Callow-
Street, near Water-Street.
