A AMERICAN ORGANS.
SSS%A

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
trnsic 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
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 ofIhe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fulness and
depth of tone, capacity of expression 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, an6 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-called Organs" consist simply
of the action fastened upon the bellows in the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case; but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain an
organ wind-chest, C al e the Reverberating
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 AMERI-
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 desideratum in any
Organ.
The bellows being provided with a 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
paS Ry-I nSP q nj ms he
| gradually increased or dimin RLedfrom the Plan
| issinao TO the FOrtissfnaO, and rice uerSa.
| The SforZando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes with
| fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
| practicable and unattainabe 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 touching
| effects.
| In connection with the TrefaOlo 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 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
| set of reeds has variety in the yoicng 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 musical
parts. The valves are of material 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,
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy OF
tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in the
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut,
and Oak cases richly Vanished Polished, and
| Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele-
CANT pieces of furniture for the ParlOr; and the
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted for
, Churches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
! We call special attention ~ the style of Ameri-
! | can Orgrn, containing the super-octave coupler
and subbaSS. For churches in want of power
full instrument, whose means are limited, its
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of great
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Double
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, and
improved Knee-swen.
These instrument have capacity from the
single reed fve-octave organ, through all the
various combination ofreeds, up to eight sets anC
sixteen stops. The power of the large pedal or
gan is very great, the deep sub-bass tones having
the strength and depth of the sixteen feet pipe
in the large pipe organs.
This latter instrument is finished in an uprigh
case, and is adapted for large churches, and TO
the use of conventions, oratorio performances
&c. Every instrument is full y warranted t.
prove good and give satisfaction, and the publi
may always rely on being fairly and honorabl,
| treated. Organs are securely boxed (free o
: | charge) to go any distance.
