 OUR LATEST IMPROVEMENT-PRINCE & CO'S GRAD- 

 UATED SWELL. 

 Patented September 17, 1861. 



This is an entirely new idea, and its want has been noticed by 

 all acquainted with Reed Instruments. The old swell could 

 never be made to operate gradually ; the instant the pedal was 

 touched for opening it, the change would be instantaneous and 



abrupt , . ... 



Our NEW SWELL is constructed on scientific principles, and 

 •we are satisfied, by our untiring study and experiments, that it is 

 the only one by which the tone of Reed Instruments may be grad- 

 uated from a mere whisper to the full power of the instrument, 

 and vice versa. The volume of tone is also very much increased 

 by this swell, and is now all that we could desire. 



This, in connection with our DIVIDED SWELL (which we 

 patented iu 1855), will be added to all the Melodeons which we 

 manufacture in the future, and without extra charge. One other 

 feature in our Melodeons is the IMPROVED VALVE OR PAL- 

 LET, beinsr a combination of cloth and leather, prepared ex- 

 pressly for the purpose. This valve we have used for the past 

 three years, and we find it to be the very thing that has been so 

 long needed as a substitute for the India Rubber Valve, which 



has I » in aeneral use since Melodeons have been manufactured, 



and which has canned so much trouble by the di solving and 

 Sticking of the India Rubber. All of our instruments are now 

 finished with this improved valve, and we can recommend them 

 with confidence. 



Persons unacquainted with the Melodeon and its history, will 

 bear in mind that we are the pioneers and leading manufacturers, 

 not only in the United Suites, but in the world. We commenced 

 the manufacture of Melodeons in the fall of the vear 1S47, and 

 since that time have finished and sold T WE'nTY-SEVEN 

 THOUSAND. These instruments are now in use mostly in the 

 United Slates and Canada, but also in Europe, Asia, Africa, South 

 America and the West Indies, and from all these quarters we 

 ■have the most flatterinsr testimonials of the high estimation in 

 which thev are held. AT ALL INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITIONS 

 THEY HAVE INVARIABLY BEEN AWARDED THE 

 HIGHEST PREMIUM WHKNEVER EXHIBITED IN COM- 

 PETITION WITH OTHERS. 



We shall take pleasure in forwarding by mail (at our own ex- 

 pense) our Illustrated Catalogue, in which every instrument we 



manufacture is fully described, and illustrated by elegant en- 

 gravings. 



All Melodeons of our manufacture, either sold by us or dealers- 

 in any part of t .<■ United States or Canada, arc warranted to be 

 perfect in every respect, and should any repairs be necessary be- 

 fore the expiration of five years from date of sale, we hold our- 

 i elvi s ready and willins to make the same froe of charge, provid- 

 ed the injury is not caused by accident or design. 



Agents for the sale of our Melodeons may be found in all the 

 principal towns of the United States and Canada.
