ware OF the very great Improvement which
has been effected in reed Instruments within
a few wears. Almost daily surprise is ey-
pressed by callers at the rooms Of Messrs.
G. 6. Mell0r 4 Co., 81 Wood street, at the
fine qualities Of o IL ofthe Cabinet Organs,
and the admirable effect of which they are
capable. Such persons had not conceived
it pOsSiblctha hat such excellent effects could
ever be obtained from reefs. Indeed, the
undeniable disagreeable qualities Of tone of
reed instruments OF the past, and the conse-
quent prejudice against them, is the great
est obstrcle which the Mason IL IIamlin
organs have to contend with.
A few years since the sale aad use of reed
instruments was c)nfded to such small
churches and schools as, being obliged to
have something, could find nothing better;
and to such individuals as, from choice or
necessity, limited themselves to II very
moderate expenses for musical instru-
mcnts. They We're sold, not 50 much for
their merits and attractions, as from their
low prices. The Improvements which re-
suited in the productions of the Mason q
Hamlin Cabinet Organs nave already atfec-
ted II gr0at change in this respect, and are
undoubtedly destined to work u vet greater
change in the future. The time is not far
distant when one of these instruments will
be deemed at least as much II necessity in
every GUS of taste and refinement as a
piano forte. The sales of the larger and
more elegant styles ofthe Mason Il Hamlin
Cabinet Organsthe prices of which cores

are increasing very rapidly; each season
bringing a demand for these STYLES several
times as great as that of the Dracee ling sea-
son. They are now regularly cmployed
and de med a necessity in the operas, and
many tirst-class orcliestras and concerts,
Ind are in constant use in those private
houses where music is most cultivated and
best appreciated. Alone, or as an accom-
| paniment to the voice. for sacred or secular
music, as a solo instrument, or in concerted
| pieces with the piau0-f0rte, violin. yiolon-
cello, the Cabinet Organ is approximate and
effective. From its sustained tones it is ca
pable OF adequately rendering very much
music which cannot be well presented bv
any other ona instrument, as well as of per
forming an important part in combination
with other Instruments.
