| 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-Cass
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 0fIhe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fulness and
depth of tone capacity of expression elasticity of
| tone, and quckness 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
tpublic. Most so-called Organs" consist simply
Iof the action fastened upon the bellows as in the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain an
forgan wind-cheSt, C a c d the Reverberatng
ISound-box which has the same important part tC
perform the Sounding-board in pianO-forte
to give body and resonance of tone. On account
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, and
command higher price then all other reed in
strumentS. Besides this wind-chest, the Amer-
can Organs contain the largest bellows used III
any instrument of the kind, giving strength ant
steadiness of tone, truly a desderatum in any
Organ. r-.-. .-.-r.-s
The bellows being provided with a safety valve
it is impossible to "choke" the tone by over blow
ing. .EHs>
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 aIodfrom the Ptdn
issimo to the Fortissinso, and ice uersa.
| The SforZando expression may also be 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 Tremolo peculiar TO the AMERICAN Or
CANS is universally admired and appreciated, Civ
ing pleasing and beautiful variety, sympatheti
. IN quality, and is capable of the most touching
o effects.
s In connection with the Tre,nolo is the Pate,,
l | Forte Stop, which consists in arranging tn
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b
made more prominent; and, with subdued &C
compartment, a 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 vocing of eac
: tset, so that in using the full power the tone
is blend into great volume, and they are so voice
/ that they will remain in tune for years.
Inc AMERICAN ORGANS are superior Ill the hit
chanical finish of the action and interior musicG
tparts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
lpared to avoid all sticking or cracking are thu
d durable, and will always be in order.
"a The Keys, Reeds, &c, are perfect in their fnSf
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy
ttone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tn
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnu
To- land Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, an
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish forming ell
igant pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and til
walnut and Oak cases especially adapted ft
tChurches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention to the style of Amer
lcan Orgrn, containing the super-octaYe couple
and subbass. For churches in want of a po,ee
full instrument, whose means are limited i
moderate price renders it very desirable.
.. 1t contains seven stops, and is capable of gre.
variety.
ldl The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Doub
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, an
, improved Knee-swell.

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