but the American ORGANS contain an organ
wind-chest, called the Reverberatbg SOund-box
which has the same Important part ts- perform as
the Sounding-board Ia piano-torte, to give body
and resonance OF tone. On account of this aud
other great in provensents the American Organ
ranks the first in the market, and command high
er price than all other reed instruments. Besides
