AMERICAN ORGANS.
~TS0

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 harmonies, and Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other lnStru-
ments of1he 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, 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
public. 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 wind-chest, a i the Reverberatlng
SOund-bOX, which has the same important part to
perform as the Sounding board in a piano-forte
! to give body and resonance of tone. On account
ofths 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 IL
any instrument of the kind, giving strength anC
steadineSs of tone, truly desideratum IN am
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 TIL
right of the performer, is managed with pertec
ease. By its use, the guam III. of tone may h
gradually increased or dimin Isl dfrom the Pan
issif,ao TO the Fortssst".o, and aieo rersG
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 "Automatlc
or similar attachments.
The Tremolo peculiar to the AMERICAN Or
CANS is universally admired and appreciated, Civ
ing a pleasing and beautiful variety, sympathe1
III quality, and ia capable of the most touchln
effects.
In connection with the Treraolo is the P0ter
! | Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging tn
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b
made more prominent; and, with subdued az
commandment 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 eac
set so that in using the full power the tone
, blend into great volume, and they are so voice
The AMERICAN ORGANS are superior in the me
chanica finish of the action and interior music;
parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
r pared to avoid all sticking or cracking are thu
durable, and will always he in order.
f The Keys, Reeds, &C., perfect in their tinis
and this gives the quickness and brillancy
tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tt
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnu
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, an
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ell
CANT pieces of furniture for the ParlOr; and Il
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted fl
Churches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention IL the style of Amer
D., can Orgrn, containing the super-octave coupl
and subbasS. For churches in want of pOwe
full instrument whose means are limited,
5. moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable OF gre
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the DOuh
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberatng Sound-box, al
improved Knee-swell.
These instrument have a capacity from {
single reed fjve-octaye organ, through all {
various combination ofreedS, up to eight sets al

gans very great the deep sub-bass tones hay

in the large pipe organs.
This latter instrument is finished in an upriG
