AMERICAN ORGANS,
HI,sf

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
trinsic merit, and without the aid of celebrated
names and paid testimonials, the AMERICAN Or
CANS have taken the highest rank as tlrst-Class
Instruments and are justly acknowledgment nave
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 harmonles, ana Sacred music,
so much desired in American homes.
The AMERICAN ORGANS excel all other Instru-
ments ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fulneSs ana
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 / the Reverberating
Sound-boX which has the same important part tC
| perform as the Sounding-board in piano-forte
! to give body and resonance of tone. On account
ofthis and other great improvements the AMERI
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market anC
command a higher price then all other reed in
strumentS. Besides this wind-chest, the Amer
/ can Organs contain the largest bellows used II
| any instrument of the kind, giving strength an(
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-swell, being placed at tn
g
ease By its use, the quantity of tone may ID
gradually increased or diminished from the Pan
| iSSinl0 to the FoTtiSs5nlo, and rice UerSG.
The Sforzando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes will
fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainablc 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 touching
effects.
In connection with the Tre1tOio is the Pdtetl
Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging tn
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b
made more prominent; and, with subdued &C
compartment, fine solo effect may he produced
The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill
An American Organ containing more than on
set of reeds has variety in the voicing of eac
set, so that in using the full power the tone
blend into great volume and they are so voice
J
| The AMERICAN ORGANS are superior in the mt
chanical finish of the action and interior musicS
parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
pared to avoid all sticking or cracking are thu
durable, and will always be in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &C., are perfect in their finSl
and this gives the quickness and brilliancy
tone.
| The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in til
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnu
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, an
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ell
CANT pieces of furniture for the Paror; and tn
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted fl
lChurcheS, Lecture, School, and Lodge rooms.
We call special attention t. the style of Amer
can Orgrn, containing the super-octave couple
and subbass. For churches in want of powe
full instrument, whose means are limited i
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of gre,
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS ali contain the Doub
Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, an
improved Knee-swell.
These instrument have capacity from IL
single reed fve-octave organ, through all Il
various combination ofreeds, up to eight sets an
sixteen stops. The power of the large pedal o
gan is very great, the deep sub-bass tones haviI
the strength and depth of the sixteen feet pip,
in the large pipe organs.
This latter instrument is finished in an uprigl
case, and is adapted for large churches, and t;
the use of conventions, Oratorio performance
&c. Every instrument is flu Y warranted

may always rely on being fairly and honorab
treated. Organs are securely boxed (free
