massive and strong, although not Of
ornate design, and the front pipes are
nearly of pure tin ften-per cent. alloy
only1 and their bright polish gives the
organ a very beautiful and imposing ap1
pearance. This organ has four manuals
and complete pedale.
In addition, it has ttirty4two combins-
ton knobs (eight over each key-board),
and a large number of combination
pedals, by means of which an almost
endless variety of effects can be insta1-
taneously obtained. ALI the bellows and
blowing apparatus are placed in a large
room by themselves, this room being al
ways kept perfectly dry and of an even
temperature The effect of some of the
solo registers is very beautiful. and the
tone of the full organ grand and ma
jestic in the extreme, when music which
played. The total number of registers
(actual setsa'of pipes) is one hundred
and eicxsn, and the whole number Of
draw-stops one hundred and twenty-five;
The next largest organ in the world
(the Ulm Cathedral organ) has Just one
hundred registers. None of these very;
large organs can be called successful in:
the full sense of the word When the
full power is used, only music of very
slow and massive character can be-
played, without more or less confusion
as the result. An organ of sixty, or, at
most, seventy registers, can furnish all
the variety that can possibly be needed,
and, if more power is desired, the press
ure can easily be increased to any de-
! sired degree, Sixty registers (about A.
600 pipes) can be made to speak to-
gether. a greater number than this
never did, and never will, speak with
precision or clearness. qras d f1e 3f,sl
Of all the great organs. in our land, the
great organ in the Boston Music Hall is
the most famous 1t is about two-thirds
the size of the Albert Hail instrument,
and is justly celebrated as one of the
most beautiful of the great organs in the
world; By this ! mean that its softer
combinations are all of a most beautiful
and lowell character and their tone of
great purity and beauty. In the full or
| gan is the same old story of confusion of
tone and slowness of speech which is
found in every one of the great organs.
This organ shas -feur. manuals, thirteen
combination pedals Gall donble-acting)
and pedal which has not one, but three

by Walcker, of Eudwigsburg, Germany,

The house or, case is certainly not
equaled in beauty by any OF the other
famous great organs The size is about
forty five feet wide, forty feet deep and
sixty three feet high, and the number of
pipes is $3.50. The large, pure tin types
in the front weigh nearly a thousand
pounds each, and a full-sized mapmight
easily crawl through them. The grand
crescendo pedal brings on, as slowly or
rapidly as may be desired, all of the reg
listers, one by one, up to the full power of
the organ, and then withdraws them in a
similar manner There is also a pedal
which instantly gives or takes away this
entire power of the instrument. 1t is
blown by steam-engine located in the
cellar, many feet below the organ. If
this noble organ were only played regu-
larly by a master organist it would soon
win, and hold, the foremost rank among
the musical wonders of the world
