ABOUT CABINET ORGANS.

IL may not be generally understood,
even by those tolerably we'll versed in
musical arts, that the vast difference in
quality Of tone developed in the different
makes of Cabinet Organs, is owing in II
great measure, TO the different modes of
bending the tongue Of the reed, a slight
variation in the style of bend making quite
perceptible difference in the quality of
tone produced, ~ we'll MS in the speaking
capacity of the reed.
SO difficult aud peculiar in this depart
ment OF work as to render it necessary for
II person to have II natural gift or tact in
handling the delicate tools used, and even
then it sometimes requires years of prac-
ticc to enable one to become proficient in
this art.
There are only two or three of the lead
ing makers in this country who understand
the application of what is called the new
and improved bend in the reed, and
among them the house Of Simmons g.
Clough Organ Co., Of Detroit, Mich, have
made their instruments deservedly popu-
lar, and are taking the lead in way of the
more desirable improvements, having se-
cured the valuable "Scribner Patent. 4"
an application of tubes to reeds, which
materially increase the volume Of tone,
and at the same time destroy the wirey,
metallic sound of the reed. This firm also
make use Of the celebrated "Vox Hu.
mana, or " Fan tremolo, and also the
famous Nox Celeste stop the use of
which has created such an cutlery among
older manufacturers, who find it imposs-
BILE, with their style of bend and voicing
to moke good job Of it.
1t is comparatively but brief period
since this firm began to make instruments
upon large scale, and offer them to the
public at large through dcalers,-the home
demand having taken their entire produce

the experience Of this house dates back to
the year 1850, and IL is these years of care.

to make their Organs, in many respects, SUI

The musical editor OF tho Superior

follows "We are impressed with all we

Organ Contrary to the practice of
many other establishments, this firm have
first made reputation for their noble in
strumcnts, and then advertised them. 1t
is n mystery to US outsiders what they are
advertising for, as the demand for these
Organs now exceeds the supply Tho
great demand for them, in fact, has COM
PEELED the company to put up new man
ufactory at cost OF nearly 100000.
There are only three instruments of the
cabiret organ class in America that we
should feel satisfied in purchasing, and
Of the three we FAR prefer the instrument
