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 reputation established solely upon in
trinSic 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 ofIhe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater funess and
depth of tone capacity of expression, elasticity of
tone, and quckness of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are constructed on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ, and in depth and
seniority 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
ofthe 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, ca the Reverberating
SOund-bOX, which has the same important part to
perform as the SOunding-board in piano-fOrte
Ofths 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-sweIl being placed at the
right OF the performer, is managed with perfec
ease. By its use, the quantity of tone may be
gradually increased or diminished from the Plan
iSSimo to the FOrtiSSjnlO, and Uice rersa.
The StOrZandO 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, sympathetic
IN quality, and is capable of the most touching
effects.
In connection with the Trenlolo is the Pdterr
| Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging the
treble notes in front, that at will, they may bt
made more prOmnent 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 ont
set Of reeds has variety IN the vOlcing of eacf
set, so that in using the fulf power the tone:
blend into great volume, and they are 50 voiced
! that they will remain in tune for years.
/ The AMERICAN ORGANS are superior in the me
chanlcal finish of the action and interior muslca
/ parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
pared to avoid all sticking or cracking; are thu
/ durable and will always he in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &c, are perfect i'll their finish
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy 0
/ tone.
/ The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tn
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, ant
/ Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele
CANT pieces Of furniture for the Parlor; and tn
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted 70
Churches, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention to the style of Ameri
can Orgrn, containing the super-octaye couple
and subbasS. For churches in want OF power
4 tul instrument. whose means are limited, il
moderate price renders il very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of grea
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the DoubI
Bellows, TremOlo, Reverberating Sound-boX, an
improved Knee-Swell.
/ These instrument have a capacity from tn
single reed five-oc,ave organ, through all tn
various combination ofreedS, up to eight SETS an
sixteen stops. The power of the large pedal OF
gan is very great, the deep sub-baSS tones havin
the strength and depth of the sixteen feet pipe
in the large pipe organs.
Tins latter Instrument is finished in an uprigl
case, and is adapted for large churches and Il
the use OF conventions, oratoriO performance
&c. Every instrument is fully warranted I
prove good and give satisfaction, and Ulo publ
may always rely on being fairly and HONORABLE
treated. Organs are securely boxed free
