AMERICAN ORGANS.
ET2el "a

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 pateut
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 ofeXpreSsion, 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 in the
common meodeon, and enclosed in an organ
case but the AMERICAN ORGANS contain an
organ wind-chest, cal e the Reverberating
Sound-boX, which has the same important part to
perform as the SOundmg-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 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 perfect
ease By its use, the quantity of tone may be
gradually increased or diminished from the PAN
isSimo to the FortiSSiBeo, and rice rerSa.
The SforZandO expression may also be 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 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 TremoIo is the Patent
! Forte Stop, which consists in so arranging the
treble notes in front, that, at will, they may be
made more prominent; and, with subdued ac-
| compartment, fine solo effect may be produced
The Reeds are voiced with great care and skill
An American Organ containing more than one
set of reeds has variety III the v0icing of each
set, so that in using the full power the tones
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
i chanical finish of the action and interior musica
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 brilliancy o
tone.
The AMERICAN ORGANS are finished in thu
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
full instrument, whose means are limited, il
moderate price renders it very desirable.
1t contains seven stops, and is capable of gres
variety.
The AMERICAN ORGANS all contain the Doubl
Bellows Tremolo, Reverberating Sound-bOX, an
improved Knee-swell.
| These instrument have a capacity from tn
single reed five-octave organ, through all tn
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 hayin
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 Il
the use of conventions, oratoriO performance
!. &c. Every instrument is fu y warranted |
, prove good and give satisfaction, and the publ
NAV always rely on being fairly and honorab
treated. Organs are securely boxed Gree
charge) to go any distance.
