London, February 1. Mr. Merlin, the great mechanic, has at
last finished his new and complete musical instrument, the
powers of which are in the greatest degree extraordinary.
This instrument is in one and the same case, "a harpsichord,
piano forte, hautboy, trumpet, and kettle drum; it is a
keyed instrument, and is to be played like a harpsichord.
Mr. Bach is to be the first public performer on the
instrument, and in his concerts it is to be introduced."
