Every Instrument warranted for FIveYears

N presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in musi-
cal instruments OF the age. Durrng the past half
century, the French and Germans have manuficl
tured reed instruments with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet to operate but the want of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows viii ch is the
only bellows used in nstrume nfs } made il i'm
possible tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which our instruments are cele-
brated. ~ frz. -.arI1 p
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, mat both feet being occupied, no opportuni-
was onered for the management of the swell
wi'hin the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on this European plan of &C double blowers ,,
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counteract this difficulty want of a swel) lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, to act upon the SWELL and operated BY che
knee. The Inconvenience and contortion necss
sary TO effect this object, disagreeable enough
to gentleman, but TO lady the use of such an
aPPendage is nearly i'm possible
Our Autmatic device obviates this difficulty en-
trely, the simple act OF blowing with more or less
force giving the desired increase or decrease in
the volume OF tone. For seventeen wears the
superior excellence of Melodeon has not
been questioned, and for two years past the enor-
nous demand has made it impossible for us to
meet our orders promptly With our increased
facilities, we feel warranted in assuring our pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage
