WHY GREAT CHANGES ARE Being MADE.

~ be inspired The perfecting of art
demands elimination Of the unneces-
sary. This baslc principle has been
forcibly Illustrated in the conception
and creation Of the Kimball type Of or
gan. Mechanical hindrance with which
the original organ are barnacled are
absolutely done away with-a radical
departure In the treatment OF modern
musical mechanism What would usual

mechanical devices Is now done by the
elimination Of mechanism and the em-

The specifications have been made
and the pipes are voiced to suit accous-
tic properties OF the building, which, as
all know, are marvellous, and which have
always added so much TO the tone Of
the instrument New pipes are to be
made especially for this organ.
The same artist just quoted says In
speaking Of the great Temple Organ of
Washington, ID. e. "In this marvellous
and extensive organ there Is no labor,
weight, resistance. friction or delay to
contend with. Its luxurious ease in
manipulation, requiring only a natural
touch Of fingers or feet TO instantly ac-
complish, makes possible the creation
Of new school OF organ playing and
compositions for the organ"
"ln this organ the best known condi-
lions for the speech Of every distinct
register Of pipes have been adopted.
Thus one family will speak to greater
perfection on a light wind while an
other requires a heavy pressure Of wind
for its best speech" The
key touch Is set at that OF the most
perfect grand pianoforte, but feels
lighter and cleaner because there Is no
inertia Of plano action to overcome.
