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 lor opening it, the change would be instantaneous and 

 abrupt 



Our NEW SWELL is constructed on scientific principles, and 

 we are satisfied, by our untiring 'tudy 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. 



Tliis, hi connection with our DIVIDED SWELL (which we 

 patented in 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, being a combination of cloth and leather, prepared ex- 

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

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

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

 has been in general use since Melodeons have been manufactured, 

 and ichich has caused no 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 States, but in the world. "We commenced 

 thr manufacture of Melodeons in the fall of the year 1847, and 

 since that time have finished and sold TWENTY-SEVEN 

 THOUSAND. These instruments are now in use mostly in the 

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

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

 have the most flattering testimonials of the high estimation m 

 which ihev are held. AT ALL INDUSTRIAL INHIBITION'S 

 THEY HAVE INVARIABLY BEEN AWARDED THE 

 HIGHEST PREMIUM WHENEVER EXHIBITED IN COM- 

 PETITION WITH 01 HERS. 



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

 pense) our Illustrated Catalogue, in whio*» «very instrument we 



manufacture is tully described, and illustrated by elegant en- 

 gravings. 



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

 in any part of tnc United States or Canada, are warranted to be 

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

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

 selves ready and willing to make the same five ot charge, provid- 

 ed the injury is not caused by accident or design.
