With a reputation established solely upon in

The attention of the public is called to the
AMERICAN ORGAN as an instrument long sought

Improvements, is adapted to all kinds OF music.
naltcularly 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 sorority OF tone approach nearer that grand
instrument than any other organ vet manufactured
and re the only real organs now before tn, 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
wndchcst, called the Reverberating Sound-boS,
which has the same important pnrt to perform as
the Sounding-board in piano-fortc, to give body
ana resonance OF tone. On account Of this AM,

ranks the first in the market, and command a high
er price than all other reed instruments Besides
this wnd-cheSt, the American Organ contains the
largest bellows used in anv instrument of the kind

treble notes in front that, at will, they may be
made more prominent; and, with a subdued ac-
compartment, fine solo scffect NAV be produced.
Tie Reeds are voiced with great care and skill.
An American Organ containing more than one set
of reeds has a variety in the voicing of each set
that in using the full power the tones blend in
to great volume, and thew arc so voiced that they
will remain in tune for years.
