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 a 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-Ciass
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 harmOnies, and Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other InStru-
ments ofthc kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater tulneSs and
depth of tone, capacity OF expression, elasticity OF
tone and quickneSs of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements
The AMERICAN ORGANS are conSt ucted on the
Iprnciple Ofthe large Pipe Organ, anC IN depth ana
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-called 'Organs" consist simply
of the action fastened upon the bellows aS in the
| common melodeOn, and enclosed III an organ
! case but the AMERICAN ORGANs contain an
! organ wind-chest, c a e the ReVerberatlnE
SOund-bOx, which has the same important part 10
perform as the Sounding-hoard in piano-fortc,
to give body and resonance Of tone. On account
ofthis and other great Improvements the AMERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market. and
command higher price then all other reed in
strumentS Besides his wind-chesr 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

ling.
The improved Knee-Swell, being placed ut III,
right of the performer, is managed with pertec
ease. Bv its use, the quantity Of tone may ht
gradually Increased or diminished from the i'iaR
tSSi7aO to the F01ttSSIHQO, and rice CeTSd.
The Sforzando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes WIKI
fine orchestral effects which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainahle 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, Sympatheu
IN quality, and is capable Of the most touchln:
effects.
In connection with the 7rebiolo is the Pate,
Forte Stop, which consists III So arranging tn
treble notes in front, that, ut will, they may b
made more prominent; and, with Subdued nc
compartment, fine solo effect may De produced

An American Organ containing more than on
set of reeds has a variety IN the voicing of eacI
set, that in using the fail power the tone

parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
