AMERICAN ORGANS,

The most perfect and beautiful musical instru-
ments in the world
Seventeen First Premiums over all competitors
at State Fairs during the month of October.
With a reputation established solely upon in
trinsic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials, the AMERICAN Or
CANS have taken the highest rank as First Glass
Instruments,and are justly acknowledged to have
no superior.
The attention OF the public is called to the "A.
MEXICAN ORGAN as an instrument long sought
for in the family circle, which, with new patent
improvements, is adapted to all kinds of music,
particularly the connected organ style with its
sustained tones and harmonies, and Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other instru-
ments ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater funess and
depth of tone, capacity of expression, elasticity of
tone, aud quiekness of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are constructed on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ, and in depth and
sorority of tone approach nearer that grand In
strument than any other organ yet manufactured,
and are the only real reed organs now before the
public Most so-called Organs" consist simply
ofthe action fastened upon the bellows as in the
common meodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain an
organ wind-chest, cal c d the Reverberating
Sound-box, which has the same important part to
perform as the Sounding board in piano-forte
" give uOul anu TtsOiidHCt VI bOhG. Ou dCCOuNt
ofthis and other great Improvements the AMERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, and
command a higher price then all other reed in
struments. Besides this wind-chest, the Ameri-
can Organs contain the largest bellows used in
any instrument of the kind, giving strength and
steadiness of tone, truly desderatum in any
Organ.
The bellows being provided with a safety valve,
i is impossible TO "choke" the tone by over blow
ing.
The improved Knee-swell, being placed at the
right of the performer, is managed with perfect
ease. BY its use, the quantity Of tone may bel
gradually increased or diminished from the Plan
iSsimO 10 the FOrtiSsiDlo, and rice rerSd.
The Sforzando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes with
fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainable IN all "Automaticf
or similar attachments
The Tremolo peculiar to the AMERICAN Or
CANS is universally admired and appreciated CIV
ing pleasing and beautiful variety, sympathetic
IN quality, and is capable of the most touchingI
effects.
In connection with the Tremolo is the Patent
Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging the
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may bel
made more prominent; and, with subdued ac-
compartment. fine solo effect may be produced.
The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill.
An American Organ containing more than oneI
set of reeds has variety in the yoicing of each
set, so that in using the full power the tones
blend into great volume, and they are so voiced
that they will remain in tune for years
The AMERICAN ORGANS are superior in the me-
chanical finish of the action and interior musical
parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
pared TO avoid all sticking or cracking are thus
durable, and will always be in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &c, are perfect in their finish,
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy of
tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in the
highest style of art in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut, |
aud Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, and
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele-
giant pieces Of frnifuna for FarlOr; aud' the
walnut and Oak cases. especially adapted for
Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms. Il
We call special attention to the style OF Amerl-
IAN Orgrn, containing the ruPer-ootHvr ee"P'@rt
md subbass. For churches in want of power
al instrument, whose means are limited, its
price renders il very desirable.
II contains seven stops, and is capable of great
'ariety. II
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Double
Bellows, Tremolo, Reyerberating Sound-box, and
kuee-swell. - -s

This latter instrument is finished in an upright i
