FINE
PIPE ORGAN

A contract has been aWafueu Etcehtlg
by the organ committee Of the hand
some United Presbyterian church of
Albany, Oregon, to Eilers Piano House,
Portland. for a new pipe organ. The
organ selected is the famous Kimball
duplex tubular pneumatic type, Of large
size, with two manuals and pedals the
case design being almost identical with
the magnificent Kimball organ recently
installed in the NJ. +. church at Ever.
cit, Washington, by Eilers Piano
House.
Tho committee having the selection
Of tho new organ in charge was com
posed of G. II. Stewart, J. G. Irvine,
Geo. A. Achcson, c. z. Sox, J. W. Bar.
ton and p. A. Young who are all more
or less vcrscd In organs and their CON
struction. Many organs were thor.
oughly examined and tested, but, after
considering every one In the minutest
detail. Il was tho unanimous decision
Of tho committee that the world-re.
nowned Kimball organ embodied the
best principles, and In tone and quality
far surpassed all others
Tho results obtained In these instru.
ments are impossible under any other
known principle than what ls technical
~ known az the Kimball duplex pncu
matte system. BY this method tho nc.
tion Il operated by 60 prcssures Of
wind, ono heavier than tho other. tho
heavier pressure closing tho valves
and the pipe, or lighter pressure open
ing them This l. a positive agency.
So long as tho wind Il in tho instru'
mont. Il Il bound 10 operate. The repo'
tltioa Is marvelously quick, and the
touch lighter, even, than high.elass
plano.
Tho various pipes or voices arc ~.
scmbled In the bes, known proportions,
and each stop IL 30 treated as 70 full
al he ofiee 10 tho best advantage.
In no instance has musical quality In
these instruments been sacrificed In or.
der 10 gain loud effects, which In
variahly prove brassy Power there Is
In plenty In the stops intended 10 be
powerful, but the primary objeet-a
musical tone-predomlnates throughout
all Kimball pipe organs.
Tho specifications for this new or
gan have gone forward 20 tho Kimball
factory, Chicago, and IL will be com,
pletely installed In the United PFesby |
teFian church at Albany about Febru,

paratiyely a few years these new, IA.
