The most perfect and beautiful musical instru
n1ents in the world
Seventeen First Premiums over all competitors
at State Fairs during the month OF October.
With a reputation established sol,iY upon in
t;insc merit and without the all Of sulehretcd
names and pad testimonials, the AMERICAN
0RGASs have taken the highest rank Il, First Class
Instruments, and are justly acknowledged to have
! no superior.
The attention Of the public is called to the
AMERICAN ORGAN Us 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 are constructed on the
principle Of the large Pipe Organ, and in depth
and souUri vi tndc approach nearer that grand
instrument than any other organ vet manufactured
and re the only real organs now before the pub
lie. Most so-called "Organs' consist simply of
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, called the Revcrbcrating Sound-box,
which has the same important part to perform
the Sounding-board in piano-orte, to give body
and resonance OF tone. On account OF this aud
other gre u in prOvementS the American Organ
ranks the first in the market, and command high
er price than all other reed instruments. Besides
this windchest, the American Organ contains the
largest bellows used in any instrument of the kind
giving strength aud steadiness Of tone, truly
dcsidcratum in any organ.
The bellows being provided with n safety valve,
it is impossible to "choke" the tone by over
blowing.
The Improved Knee-swcll, 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 fl ON the Pid-
,ssinio to the FoTtissnlo, and rice persG.
The Sfo5Ga90 expression may also he introdu
ecd at pleasure swelling particular notes with line
orchestral effects which are absolutely imprac'-
cable and unattainable in all Automatic or sim
liar attachments.
The rremclo peculiar to the American Organs
l! universally admired and appreciated, giving a
pleasing and beautiful variety, sympathetic in
quality and is capable ofthe most touching effects.
In connection with the l,remolo 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 subduel ac-
compartment a fine solo effect may he produced.
The Reeds are voiced With great care and skill.
An American Organ containing more than one set
oi reeds has variety in the voicing Of each set
20 that in using the :nl power tho tones blend in
10 great volume, and they are So voiced that they
will remain IN tune for years.
The American Organs arc superior in the me-
chaucal finish Of the action and interior musical
parts. The valves are Of matoria 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
aud this gives the quckness and bIilliancy Of tone
