Bet. Prince and Hooston-Bts., 
It is admitted by all MUSICIANS who have examined the 
CHORAIi ORGAX8, 
that they combine more desirable qualities than any reed In- 
strument ever before made. Hv a combination ot an-ange- 
iiients, peculiar to the ClIOliAL OUGAN alone. The loho 
EXCELS in lullne??!. purity, and richness, anri in the frencr- 
al meclianienl anancjemcnts of the instrument, it surpasses 
all others of its class. 
The patent Graduated Swell is controlled entirely by the 
feet, while blowing, rciiuiring no change of position of h'ands 
or feet, thereby eiiablhi^ tlie" performer to produce all tliose 
beautiful effects for which tlie Orjj:an is so eminently lulapted. 
This SWELL is not aLOI'D PEDAL onlv. but. as ii^ n:inio 
indicates, a SU'KLL. bv which vou glide from the PIANIS- 
SIMO to the FOUTlSsUlO at will, or instiintlv cliansre from 
one to the other. This is peculiar to tlie CHoUAL OUGAN. 
The voicing of the Ileeds is done with the trreates.t care. In 
order to tree them from the HAUSHNESS often heard in 
reed instruments; and no one who listens to the CHOUAL 
OIIGAN but is attracted by the melodious sweetness of its 
tones. None should purchase an instrument of this class 
without first inspecting; the CHOUAL ORGAN at the
