GExrLExEx-l confess to having entertained
prejudice ngainst reed instruments before having
heard your American Organ. But by your new
method " voicing the monotonous, droning buzz
aing sound has been entirely cured. and in place
Of It a pure organ like tone substituted The nc
ton is prompt and the tuning is really perfect -
If your Organs receive the patronage they merit
they must come into very general use.
With regard, truly yours,
