AMERICAN ORGANS

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
trinsio 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 instru-
mentS ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fulness and
depth of tone, capacity OF Repression 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-caed "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, C a | e the Reyerberatlng
Sound-box, which has the same important part to
perform as the SOunding-board in piano-torte,
to give body and resonance of tone. On account
ofthis and other great improvements the AAERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the first il he market, and
command higher price then al other reed in
struments. Besides this wind chest, the Ameri-
can Organs contain the larges bellows used in
any instrument of the kind, giving strength and
steadinesS of tone, truly desideratum in any
Organ.
The bellows being provided til safety valve
it is impossible to "choke" the 'eby over blow
ing.
The improved Knee-swell, aing placed at thu
right of the performer, is mg .ged with perfec
ease. BY its use, the guam .of tone may 81
gradually increased or dimin edfrom the Plan
isSinlo to the F0rttsSimo, and &c rersa.
The Sforz lnL expression ay also be l.4'ro
dUco' at pleasure, swelling pr rticular notes Wit
fine trail effects, which absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainable il all Automatic
similar ottaohsaSa.s
The Tremoio peculiar to the AMERICAS On
ANe i0 univel...ily admired and appreciated Civ
ing pleasing beautiful variety, sympathet
III quality, and is capable of the most touchln:
effects.
In connection with the Tfe,notu is the Paten
Forte Stop, which consists in 30 rInging tn
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b.
made more prominent; and, with subdued &C
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 a variety in the vOicing of eacl
so that in using the full power the tone

lat they Will remain III tune for 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 be in order.
| The Keys, Reeds, &c, perfect in their finish
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy G
| tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tn
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, an
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and tn
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted fo
Churches, Lecture School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention IL the style of Amer
can Orgrn, containing the super-octave couple
and subbass. For churches in want of power
full instrument, whose means are limited, il
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of grea
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Doubl
Bellows, TremolO, Reverberating Sound-box, an
improved Knee-swel.
These instrument have a capacity from tn
single reed five-octave organ, through all th
various combination ofreeds, up to eight sets an
sixteen stops. The power of the large pedal o.
gan is very great, the deep sub-bass tones havin
the strength and depth of the sixteen feet pipe
in the large pipe organs.
This latter instrument is finished in an uprigi
case, and is adapted for large churches, and Il
the use of conventions, oratoriO performance
&c. Every instrument is full y warranted I
prove good and give satisfaction, and the publ
may always rely on being fairly and honOrabl
