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 reputation established solely upon in
tiinsic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and pad testimonials, the AMERICAN
ORGANS have taken the highest rank as First.C lass
Instruments, and are justly acknowledged to have
| no superior.
The attention of the public is called to the
AMERICAN ORGAN as AN instrument long sought
tor 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 are constructed on the
principle OF the large Pipe Organ and in depth
/ anu sorority OF tone approach nearer that grand
instrument than any other organ yet manufactured
and re the only real organs now before the pub
lac. Most so-called Organs consist simply Of
the 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, called the Reverberating Sound-box
"hlch mas the same important part to perform as
/ the Sounding-board in piano-iorte, to give body
| and resonance OF tone. On account OF this and
| other great iT prOvements the American Organ
! ranks the flrst In the market and command high
/ er price than all other reed instruments Besides
| this wind-chest, the American Oryam contains the
largest bellows used in any instrument Of the kind
! giving strength and steadiness OF tone, truly a
| desderatum in any organ.
| The bellows being provided with safety valve
is impossible to CHOKE" the tone by over
! blowing.
The Improved Knee-swell, by being placed at
the right Of the performer, managed with perfect
ease by its use, the quantity OF tone NAV be
gradually increased or diminished from the Plan
isSmo to the fortissino, and rice rersa.
The Sf@zdado expression may alss lie introdu
ced ut pleasure, swelling particular notes with fine
orchestral effects, which absolutely impracti-
cable and unattanable in all Automatic or sim
! liar attachments.
The Tremolo peculiar to the American Organs
is universally admired and appreciated, giving a
| pleasing and beautiful variety, sympathetic in
quality and is capable ofthe most touching 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 be
made more prominent; and with a subdued ac-
compartment, Il iine solo effect may be produced.
The leeds are voiced with great care and skill.
An American Organ containing more than one ret
ot reeds has variety in the vOicing of each set
80 that IN using the full power the tones blend in
| to great volume aud thew So voiced that they
| will remain in tuna for wears
| The American Organs superior in the me-
chanical finish Of the action and interior musical
/ parts The valves are of mat, rial expressly pre-
pared to avoid all sticking or cracking; are thus
! durable. and will always be in order.
! The KEYS Reels &c. are perfect in their finish
and this gives the qulckness and bIilliancy of tone
The American Organs are finished in the hig hest
style OF art, in Rosewood Jet, Walnut and Oak
cases richly Vanished. Polished, and Engraved
or in Smooth OIL polish forming elegant Pieces of
| furniture for the Paror and the Walnut and
Oak cases especially adapted for Churches, Lecture
School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention to the style of Amer
icau Organs containing the super-octave coupler
and sub-Iass. For churches in want Of powerful
instrument whose means are limited, its moderate
price renders it very desirable.

variety.
The American Organs all contain the Double
! Bellows, TremOlo, Rsyerberatng SOund-bux, and
! improved Knee-swel
! These instruments have a capacity from the
single reed iive-octave organ, through all tue
various combination of reeds up to eight sets and
sixteen stops. The power OF the large pedal
organ is very great the deep sub-bass tones hav-
ing the strength and depth of the sixteen feet
| pipes in the large pipe organs.
| This latter instrument is finished in an upright
case aud is adapted for large churches, and Tor

Every instrument is fully warranted to prove
