AMERICAN ORGANS
,ESf 80

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 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 Ofthe kind in many important particulars.
They are superior in their greater fulnesS and
depth of tone, capacity of Repression 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, a | the Reverberating
Sound-box, which has the same important part TO
perform as the Sounding-board in a piano-forte
of this 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-swell, being placed at the
| right of the performer, is managed with perfec
l ease. BY its use, the guam tli,of tone may bt
| gradually increased or dimin SE6dfrom the Plan
| issinao to the Forttssinao and ice rersa.
The Sforzando expression may also be intro
duced at pleasure, swelling particular notes will
| 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 TremolO is the Pdten
Forte Stop which consists in so arranging thu
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may b.
made more prominent; and, with subdued &C
| compartment, fine solo effect may be produced
| The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill
1 An American Organ containing more than ont
set of reeds has variety in the voieing of eacl
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 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 brlliancy 0
tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in tn,
highest style of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut
and Oak cases richly Vanished, Polished, anC
/ Engraved or in Smooth Oil Polish, forming ele
CANT pieces of furniture for the Parlor; and tn,
Walnut and Oak cases especially adapted TO
IChurches, 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, it
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of grea
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Double
Bellows, TremolO, Reverberating Sound-box, ant
improved Knee-swell.
These instrument have a capacity from tn
single reed jve-octave organ, through all tn
various combination ofreeds, up to eight sets ant
sixteen stops. The power of the large pedal or
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 uprigh
case, and is adapted for large churches, and 70
the use of conventions oratorio performances
&c. Every instrument is ful Y warranted t
prove good and give satisfaction, and the publ
may always rely on being fairly and HONORABLE,
ltleated. Organs re securely boxed Gree Q
