The voicing of the organ is one of
its strongest points, and receives the
most careful and artistic treatment.
The diapasons, which are the founda-
tion tones of the organ, have the full,
resonant quality for which English or
gans are celebrated. A special de-
gree of success has been secured in
the oboe pipe, which is made entirely
of wood, no reed being used. 1t has
the correct tone of the orchestral oboe,
and is much more satisfactory in
every way than the reed and metal
oboe commonly used. 1t is an open
wood pipe, voiced so as to produce the
proper overtones and harmonics. and
to speak with the fundamental tone of
the pipe and yet produce the orchestral
oboe. 1t is so constructed as to be
absolutely secure against getting out
of order The striking quality of tone
produced in this pipe renders it more
than an imitation of its orchestral
namesake, for it is in reality a re-
production of the instrument itself
The same is to be said of the violon-
cello pipe which is also a wood pipe,
and is tuned in the same manner as the
oboe. In this stop, also. the makers
have succeeded in reproducing the
tone of the instrument whose name it
bears. the lower notes having the full,
resonant quality of the double bass.

There is no doubt that this organ
will commend itself to the approval of
all music lovers by whom it is heard,
and add materially to the reputation of
the Estey house. 1t could hardly
have gone into better hands or into a
better location for this purpose
1t is pleasing to all Brattleboro
people to know that the fullest meas
ure of success is promised for this
new branch of the Estev business.
With success fully established there
is apparently no end to its develop
| ment. The demand for pipe organs
of the best quality at a moderate price
was never so great as at the present
time. More churches than ever be.
fore are inquring for organs of this
character. No concern could be more
favorably situated for the Introduction
| of such a branch of business than is
| the Estey Organ company. All the
mechanical facilities of the factories
are available for the primary work
| upon the instruments. and it only re-
mains for Mr.. Haskell as the organ
| builder to give his attention to the
musical construction and development.
A large new shop is projected for the
accommodation of this business. to be
built early the coming season in the
| rear of the present factories.
