AMERICAN ORGANS
SF2H

| 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
trinsic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials, the AMERICAN Or
CANS have taken the highest rank as First-Class
Instruments, and are justly acknowledged to have
no superior.
| The attention OF the public as 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 fulness and
depth of tone, capacity OfeXpresson, elasticity of
tone, and quickness 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-calIed "Organs" consist simply
the action fastened upon the bellows as in the
common melOdeOn, and enclosed in an organ
case but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain an
organ wind-Chest, C a d the Reyerberatlng
Sound-box, which has the same important part to
perform the Sounding-board in pianO-forte,
To give body and resonance of tone. On account
Ofthis and other great Improvements the ANERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, and
command 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 deSlderatum in any
Organ.
The bellows being provided with safety valve,
it 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 guam l1Iof tone may be
gradually increased or dimin KIedfrom the Plan
isSimo to the FoTtiSSiRO, and rice rerSG.
= 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 Automatic
r 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 touching
effects.
e In connection with the Trenolo is the Pate,a,
: Forte Stop which consists in so arranging the
treble notes in front, that at will, they may be
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 one
IF set of reeds has variety in the vocing 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 muSica
parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
pared to avoid all sticking cracking are thu:
durable, and will always be in order.
