In presenting the Automatic Organ we boldly announce
the greatest triumph In musical instruments OF the age
During the past half century the French and Germans
have manufactured reed Instruments with double bellows
and two pedals the feet to operate but the want OF the
reversed or EXHAUSTION BELLOWS (Which IS the only bel
lows used in our nstrumcnts) made impossible for
them 10 produce the mellow, rich and musical tone for
which our instruments are celebrated
Another objection this method of blowing was, that
both feet being occupied opportunity offered for
the management of the swell Within the past two years
instruments constructed this European plan OF dorb-
lie blowers" have been manufactured in this country,
and 10 counteract this difficulty (want Of swe) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instrument 20
upon the swell and operated by the knee The incon
venence and conoron necessary to effect this object are
disagreeabe enough TO gentleman, but 10 lady the
use of such an appendage Is nearly impossible.
Our AUTOMATIC device Obviacs this difficulty entirely
the simple act Of blowing with or less force giving
the desired increase decrease IN the volume Of tone
For years the superior excellence Of Me-
oicon9 has been questioned and for years past
the enormous demand has made IL impossible to meet
our orders promptly. With increased facilities
feel warranted in assuring patrons that their orders
will be promptly met and solicit continuance OF their
patronage.
