AMERICAN ORGANS.

The most perfect and beautiful musical nstru
ments in the world
Seventeen First Premiums over all competitor.
at State Fairs during the month of October.
With reputation established solely upon in
Il insic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials the AMERICAN
ORGANS have taken the highest rank First Glass
Instruments, and are justly acknowledged to have
| no superior.
The attention Of the public is called to the
AMERICAN 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 arc constructed on the
! principle OF the large Pipe Organ, and in depth
and sorority OF tone approach nearer that grand
| instrument than any other organ vet manufactured
and are the only real organs now before the pub
| lie. Most so-called Organs" consist simply of
| the action fastened upon the bellows as IN the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ casc
| but the American ORGANS contain an organ
wind chest, called the Reverberating Sound-box
| which has the same important part to perform as
the Sounding-board in piano-fortc, to give body
and resonance of tone. On account Of this and
other great im provements the American Organ
ranks the first in the market and command high
err price than all other reed instruments. Besides
| this wind chest the American Organ contains the
largest bellows used in any instrument of the kind
giving strength and steadiness Of tone, truly a
| dcsderatum in any organ.
The bellows being provided with safety valve
1t is impossible to "choke" the tone ty over
blowing.
! The Improved Kncc-swell, by being placed at
the right of the performer, managed with perfect
ease. BY its use, the quantity of tone NAV be
gradually increased or diminished from the Pian-
iSSinio to the Fortissnlo, and nice rerSd.
The SfOrzdnao expression may also be introdu

orchestral effects. which are absolutely impracii-

liar attachments.
is universally admired and appreciated, giving a
pleasing and beautiful variety, sympathetic in
quality and is capable oithc most touching effects
In connection with the Tremolo is the Patent
Forte Stop which consists in arranging tho
treble notes in front. that, at WILL they may be
made more PROMINENT and, with a subducd &C.
compartment fine solo ,oflect may be produced.
The Reeds voiced with great care and skill.
An American Organ containing more than one set
Of reeds has variety in the voicing of each set
that in using the full power the tones blend in
to great volume, and they SO voiced that they
will remain in tune for years.
The American Organs superior in the me-
chanical finish OF the action and interior musical
parts. The valves are Of mate rial expressly pre-
pared to avoid all sticking or cracking; are thus
durable. and will always be in order.
The KEYS Reeds &C.. are perfect in their finish
and this gives the quickness and bIilliancy Of tone
me American organs are finished in the highest
stvle Of art in Rosewood Jet Walnut and Oak
cases richly Vanished Polished, and Engraved
or in Smooth OIL polish, forming elegant Pieces of
furniture for the Parlor; and the Walnut and
Oak cases especially adapted for Churches Lecture
School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention to the style of Amer
lean Organs, containing the super-octave coupler
and sub-bass. For churches in want of n powerful
instrument whose means are limited its moderate
price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops. and is capable Of great
variety.
The American Organs all contain the Double
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, and
improved Knee-swcl.
These instruments have a capacity from the
single reed fve-octave organ, through all the
various combination Of reeds up to eight sets and
sixteen stops. The power Of the large pedal
organ is very great, the deep sub-bass tones hav-
ing the strength and depth of the sixteen feet
pipes in the large pipe organs
This latter instrument is finished in an upright
case, and is adapted for large churches, and for
the use of conventions, oratoro erformances &c.
Every instrument is fully warranted to prove
good and give satisfaction, and the public may
always rely on being fairly and honorably treated.
Organs are securely boxed Gree Of ,harge) to go
