 MANUFACTURER OF Ser aphineS and MelOdeOnS.
WoLcottvt2le. Conn.

| WolcottVille, Conn.
 TNHE Subscriber takes this method of A calling the attention of the public 10 his new improved MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. They are as yet bus little known to the | musical world.
 The Subscriber having had seven years' experience in the manufacturing of SERA- PEINEs AND MELODEONs. feels entire conf> dence in recommending them as durable and efficient instrument. For the benefit Of those residing at distance and coDse- qucnily unable to inspect them bef0re pure hasing, he will endeav vor to give short description of the Instruments.
 TIE SERAPHINE is an Instrument similar in appearance to that of Piano Forte the Keyboard is precisely the sane. The Cases are made of mahogany and rose wood, we'll finished aud the tone, (which is very beautifully closely resembles that of the Flute Stop of the Organ: they can be made loud or soft by the use of the swell pedal, The Bellows is constructed on a new and improved plan 1t works with pedal and with Int little inconvenience to the perform CT. The volume Of tone is equal 10 that of small Organ, and by means of the swell may be increased or diminished, at tho pleasure of the performer. It is sufficiently loud for small churches, and is we'll calcula- ted for parlor instrument. II has FIVE OcrAvEs, from G to F. Prices from $75.O0 to $l25.OO.
 1'HE IMPROVED MELoDEoN is an Instrument of Four Octaves, extending from c to C-of much smaller size than that of Seraphine. It can also be made loud or soft by means of the swell pedal. It has Ke,rboard similar to that oi the Seraphine or Piano Forte. The Cases are made of rose wood and mahogany, well finished. They are capable of ofperforming all parts to any music in the singing books, or marc hes, waltzes, Sc. Price $i500.
 These Instruments will keep in tune longer than almost any other Instrument. They are made in atvong, substantial manner. They are not inferior to any made or used in this copntry. Hundreds have examined them. and all have heen loud in their praise. But they are comparatively new Instrument-a new invention-and as yet but little known in the musical W ,sld, and it is for this reason that l call the attention of all lovers of music to i them believing that there are thousands who would lose no time in securing one, # aware of the existence of such at Instrument. But indeed they must be seen and heard to be ap preciated. Their extreme cheapness, com- bined with their practical utility and richness of tone. must continue their present popular fly
