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 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 10 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 lnstru-
ments ofthe kind in many important particulars;
| They are superior in their greater tulneSs and
depth OF tone capacity of expression, elasticity OF
| tone, and quickness of action, rendering them
perfect in rapid movements.
| The AMERICAN ORGANS are COnStI ucted on the
principle ofthe large Pipe Organ, and in depth and
sorority of tone approach nearer that grand In
strumCnt than any other organ yet manufactured
and are the only real reed organs now before the
public. Most sO-caIled 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, c a e the ReverDeratlnS
SOund-bOX, which has the same important part 10
perform rs the Soundjng-bOard in pianO-torte,
10 give body and resonance of tone. On account
ofthiS and other great improvements the AAERI-
CAN ORGANS rank the nrSJ IN the market, ana
command a 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 tOneby over blow
ing.
| The improved Knee-swell, being placed at the
right of the performer, is managed with perfect
ease. BY its use, the guam III. tone may be
gradually increased or dmn Nj Cdfrom the Pan
jsSiDaO to the FOrttSSiBlo, and race rerSa.
The SturzandO expression may also be intro
duced At pleasure, swelling particular notes with
l 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 ofthe most touching
effects.
In connection with the TTenoIo is the PGte,r
Forte Stop, which consists in arranging the
treble notes in front, that at will, they may bt
made more prominent; and, with a Subdued ac
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 a variety in the voicing of eacf
f 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 musca
parts. The valves are of material expressly pre-
pared 10 avoid all sticking or cracking are thu
durable, and will always be in order.
The Keys, Reeds, &c, are perfect in their finish
: and this gives the qucknesS 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 eIe
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and tn
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted 70
