AMERICAN ORGANS
NN

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
trinsc merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials, the AMERICAN Or
CANS have taken the highest rank rs Flrst-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 nstru-
ments Ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fuiness and
depth of tone, capacity of expresson, 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
lpubhc. Most so-calied Organs" consist simply
lcfthe action fastened upon the bellows in the
common melodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case /; but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain AT
organ wind-chest, a c d the Reverberatine
Sound-box which has the same important part tC
perform as the Sounding-bosrd in piano-forte
TO give body and resonance of tone. On accoun
ofthis and other great Improvements the AHERI
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, anC
command higher price then all other reed in
struments. Besides this wind-chest, the Amer
can organs contain tho largest bellows used il
any instrument of the kind, giving strength anC
steadiness of tone, truly desideratum in any
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 ut I'll,
right of the performer, is managed with perfec
ease. By its use, the guam III. of tone may b.
gradually increased or dimin Nj tdfrom the Plan
iBnnso to the Forttsstnio, and rice persa.
The Sforzando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes with
nne orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattsinable in all Automatic
or similar attachments.
The Tremolo peculiar to the AMERICAN Or
CANS is universally admired and appreciated, Civ
ing a pleasing and beautiful VARIETY sympatheti,
IN quality, and is capable of the most touchinf
effects.
In connection with the Trenolo is the Pate,s
Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging the
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 ont
set of reeds has q variety in the voicing of each
set, so that in using the full power the tone,
blend into great volume, and they are so voiced
that they will remain in 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-
ipared 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 briliancy o.
Itone.

highest style of art, in Rosewood Jet Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished Polished, and
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele.
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and the
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted fol
