A MEXICAN 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 oflhe kind in many important particulars.
| They are superior in their greater tulness and
depth of tone, capacity OfeXpressiun, 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, anG 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, c 4 the Reverberating
Sound-boX, which has the same important part to
perform the Sounding-bOard in piano-fOrte,
to give body and resonance of tone. On account
CAN ORGANS rank the first in the market, and
command higher price then all other reed in
struments. Besides this wind-chest the Ameri-
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
The improved Knee-swell, being placed at the
right of the performer, is managed with perfect
ease. BY its use, the quantity of tone may he
gradually increased or diminished from the Plan
isSiDiO to the FortiSSiDsO, and rice rerSd.
The StorzandO expression may also he intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes with
fine orchestral effects, which are absolutely i'm
practicable and unattainable in all "Automatic'
or similar attachments.
The Tremoo 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 Tremol0 is the Pate,,
Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging thI
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may bt
made more prominent; and, with a subdued ac
compartment, fine solo effect may he produced
The Reeds voiced with great care and skill
An American Organ containing more than on,
set of reeds has variety IN the voicing OF cacl
set, SO that in using the full power the tone
: blend into great volume, and they are voiced
that they will remain in tune for years.
f. The AMERICAN ORGANS are superior in the me
, chancal finish OF the action and interior muSica
parts. The valves of material expressly pre-
Y pared to 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 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, an,
Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ee
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and tn
7 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-octave couple
- and subbass. For churches in want of power
full instrument, whose means are limited, il
= moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of grea
: variety.
y The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Doubl
II Bellows, Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-box, an
: improved knee-swell.
= These instrument have capacity from tn
u single reed fve-octave 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.
This latter instrument is finished in an uprigf
case, and is adapted for large churches, and fo
i the use of conventions, oratorio performance.
}, &c. Every instrument is fu V warranted t
Q prove good and give satisfaction, and the publ
+ may always rely on being fairly and HONORABLE
q treated. Organs are securely boxed (free
