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 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 haTmoneS, 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 OfeXpreSsion, elasticity OF
tone, and quickness of action, rendering them
perfect i'll rapid movements.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are COnSL uCted on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ anC in depth and
! sorority ol tone approach nearer that grand In
| suufnent than any other organ yet manufactured,
| al8 IRE the only real reed organs now before the
lputiic. Most so-Called Organs" consist simply
OF the action fastened upon the bellows as in the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ
ca-e but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain al
| or n wind-chest a ! the Reverberating
Sou ad-bOx, which has the same important part tC
| perform the Sounding-board in a pianO-fOrte
| to give body and resonance of tone. On account
ms anu great Improvements the [AhERl
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 il
any instrument OF the kind, giving strength anC
| steadiness of tone, truly q desideratum in amy
Organ.
The bellows being provided with safety valve
II is impossible to "choke" the tone by over blow
ing.
The improved Knee-swell, being placed at tn,
right of the performer, is managed with perfec
ease. BY its use, the guam III. of tone may b,
gradually increased or dimin dfrom the Pian
issinro to the FortissinO, and ice rerSa.
The SforZando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes will
fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainable In all "Automatic'
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 touchin!
effects.
In connection with the TremoIo is the Paten
Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging thu
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b.
made more prominent; and, with a Subdued &C
compartment, fine solo effect may be produced
The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill
An American Organ containing more than on
set of reeds has a variety IN the voicing of eacl
set, so that in using the full power the tone
blend into great volume, and they are SO voiceC
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 or cracking; are thu
durable, and will always be in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &C., are perfect in their finish
and this gives the quickness and brillisncy o
tone.
| The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tn
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, ant
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ee
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and tn
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted 70
Churches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms
| We call special attention t. the style of Ameri
can Orgrn, containing the super-octave couple
and subbass. For churches in want of power
full instrument, whose means are limited, it
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable OF grea
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Doubl
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberatmg Sound-box, an
improved Knee-swel.
These instrument have a capacity from tn
single reed fve-octave organ, through all tn
various combination ofree&s, up to eight sets an

gan is very great, the deep sub-bass tones havin
the strength and depth of the sixteen feet pipe
in the large pipe organs.

case, and is adapted for large churches, and fo
the of conventions, oratOrio performance.
