A very desirable fear.ure and secured to us by Letters Patent, 
can only-be obtained in .YIelodeons of our own manufacture. By

tainable.

smoothly as the best Pianos. They are compactly boxed for 
shipping, and the cost of freight is but little to any part of the 
United S'ates. They are so arranged that ANY ONE can unpack 
and put them up without difficul y.

TESTIMONIALS. 
Messrs. G A. Prince & Co.: 
Gentlemen— The Double Reed Melodeon has arrived, and a 
most charming instrument it is. It has been played upon by 
Wallace. Dr Hodges, Win. Mason and a host of others, and 
they all pronounce it one of the most beautiful toned instru¬ 
ments tlioy have ever touched. 
Yours respectfully, 
JAMES F HALL, 
New-York City. 
From the Home Journal , April 3,1858. 
The Melodeons manufactured by Prince & Co., and for sale at 
87 Fulto’<-st., are ihe best in the world We have tried them, 
and therefore speak understandingly of their merits. They are 
afforded at a very moderate cost. 
From Nicholas ’ New-York Bank Note Reporter. 
Melodeons.— We have frequently seen and heard the Melo¬ 
deons manufactured by Geo. A Prince & Co., and for saie at 
their depot, No. 87 Fulton-st., and we honestly think that the 
instruments are the best finished, and the sweetest toned of any in 
the market. 
Prof. A. Morris, of Richmond, Va., alludes to the Prince Me¬ 
lodeon as follows: 
“ For beauty and purity of tone, combining strength suitable 
for halls and small churches, with also ihe subdued quality de¬ 
sired for the parlor, these specimens of mechanical skill are 
really uncqualed in the world, in this department of musical 
merchandise.” 
The following is the opinion of the Musical World: 
“Parlor Organs.—M essrs George A Prince &. Co., have 
earned an enviable reputation for their manufacture of superior 
melodeons. In sweetness and purity of tone, and sensibility to 
the touch, these excel all others. The same qualities belong to 
their Parlor Organs, which are equal in volume,to the Alexandre 
Organs, while they far surpass them in pleasing effect A fair 
comparison will convince any one that we need not patronize 
foreign manufacturer, since our own furnish an article far supe¬ 
rior.” _ 
Extracts from Letters Received. 
“Our clergyman says :—A Prince Melodeon is one of the 
necessaries of life .” 
“ I have used a Prince Melodeon for eight years, and it is still 
in perfect order.” 
“ Th ‘ Divided Swell ’ is just what was needed to make the 
Prince Melodeon a perfect instrument 
“ I have examined various kinds, and have decided that those 
made by Prince & Co. are the best.” 
“ The Organ Melodeon is received, and it affords entire satis¬ 
faction to the whole congregation.”
