AMERICAN ORGANS
ESE I'D

The most perfect and beautiful musical nstru-
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-C 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 harmonieS, 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 fulness and
depth of tone, capacity ofeXpression, elasticity OF
tone, and quickuess of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are constructed on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ and 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
of the action fastened upon the bellows in the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain al
organ wind-chest, a the Reverberatinl
Sound-box, which has the same important part Il
perform as the Sounding-board in a piauo-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, anC
command higher price then all other reed in
s.~--.-- pAsidAs this wind-cheSt. the Ameri
can Organs contain the largest bellows used II
any instrument of the kind, giving strength anC
| steadiness of tone, truly desideratum in any
Organ.
| The bellows being provided with safety valve
it 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 quantity of tone may bt
tsslnaO to the FOrtfSStn1O, and cice UerSG.
The Sforzando expression may also he intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes witt
fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainable in all Automatic
or similar attachments.
| The IremolO peculiar to the AMERICAN On
! 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 Tremolo is the Pdten
| 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 ac
| 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 variety in the voicing of eaci
| set, so that in using the full power the tone
| blend into great volume, and they are so voiced
| THAT Iney VIII remain IN tune Tor 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 he in order
The Keys, Reeds, &C., are perfect in their finish
and this gives the quickness and brillianCy o
| tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in thu
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, anC
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and thu
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted fo
Churches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention to the style of Ameri
can Orgrn, containing the super-octave coupler
| 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 Double
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, anC
| improved Knee-swell.
| These instrument have a capacity from tn,
single reed five-octave organ, through all tn,
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 fu ly warranted t.
prove good and give satisfaction and the public
may always rely on being fairly and honorably
| treated organs are securely boxed free O
