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
trlnSlc merit, and without tho 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, aid Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other inStru-
mentS ofIhe kind in many important particulars
They are superior in their greater fulness and
depth of tone, capacity OF expression, 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-called 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 c d the ReYerberating
Sound-boX, which has the same important part to
perform as the SOunding-bOard in piano-tortc,
| to give body and resonance of tone. On account
OfthiS and other great improvements the AMERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, and
command higher price then all other reed in
struments. Besides this wind-chest, the Ameri-
can Organs contain the largest bellows used in
any instrument of the kind, giving strength and
steadiness of tone, truly desideratum in any
Organ.
The bellows being provided with safety valve
it is impossible to 'choke" the tone by over blow
ing.
The improved Knee-swelI, being placed at tht
right of the performer, is managed with pertec
ease. BY its use, the quantity of tone may bC
gradually increased or diminished from the Pan
iSSiBao to the FOrtisSinO, and rice UerSG.
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
effects.
In connection with the Tremolo is the Paten
Forte Stop, which consists III 50 arranging tn
treble note IL irons, that, at viii, they may b
made mo.e prominent; and, with a snbdued &C
compartment, a fine solo effect may be produced
The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill

pared to avoid all sticking or cracking are thu
durable, and will always be in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &C., are perfect in their finisl
. and this gives the quickness and brilliancy

highest style of art, in Rosewood Jet Walnu
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, al
