Every instrument warranted for FiveYe.rs

I N presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, We
i boldly announce the greatest triumph in musl-
cal instruments of the age. During the past BALI
century. the French and Germans have manufac-
tured reed instrument with double bellows, and
two pedals for the feet operate, but the want Of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (Which is the
only bellows used in instruments,) made il i'm
possible for them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which our instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, no oPPortuni-
~ was offered for the management of the swell
WITHIN the past two years, instruments eonsuuet
ed on this European plan of &c double biowen,"
have been manufactured in this country, and to
counteract this difficulty want of sweiD a lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, to act upon the swell, and operated BY the
knee. The Inconvenience and contortion neces
sary to effect this object, disagreeable enough
| to gentleman, but to lady the use of such an
| appendage is nearly impossible.
Our Autmatic device otvates this difficulty en-
trely, the simple act OF blowing with more or less
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melod cons has not
been questioned, and for years past the enor-
| nous demand has made il 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.
