CELEBRATED IEL0DE0IS. 
FOR DURABILITY, NEATNESS, AND BEAUTY OF 
EXTERIOR FINISH, AND MORE THAN ALL, FOR 
Richness, Depth and Purity of Tone, 
THESE MELODEONS STAND UNRIVALED. 
THE DIVIDED SWELL, 
A very desirable feature and secured to us by Letters Patent, 
can only be obtained in Melodeons of our own manufacture. By 
means pf this improvement Tenor and Treble Solos or Duetts 
may be played with the full power of the Instrument, while the 
Bass can be performed in a soft, subdued tone, not otherwise at¬ 
tainable. 
Our Heeds are so constructed that the 
Melodeon Remains in Perfect Tune. 
Thousands of them have been in use for many years that have 
never needed any repairs whatever, and we believe there is no 
Musical Instrument used that requires LESS EXPENSE to 
keep it in perfect order. 
Our Melodeons are all cased in Rosewood, and finished as 
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 Siates. They are so arranged that any one can unpack 
and put them up without difficulty 
We have been awarded 
FIRST PREMIUMS 
For our Melodeons wherever we have exhibited them in com¬ 
petition with others, and we have the satisfaction of believing 
that 
OUR CONSTANT AIM TO EXCEL 
Is appreciated by the Musical Public.

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, Wi:i, Mason and a host of others, and 
they all pronounce it one of the most beautiful toned instru¬ 
ments they 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 Fulton-st., are the best in the world. We have tried them, 
and therefore speak understanding^ of their merits. They are 
afforded at a very moderate cost. 
From Nicholas ’ Nevj-York Bank Note Reporter. 
Melodeons.— We have frequently seen and heard the Melo¬ 
deons manufactured by Geo. A Prince & Co , and for sale at 
their depot, No. 87 Fulton-st , and we honestly thin* 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 Mo- 
lodeon ns follows : 
“ For beauty and purity of tone combining strength suitable 
for halls and small churches, with also the subdued quality de¬ 
sired for the parlor, these specimens of mechanical skill are 
really unequaled in the world, in this department of musical 
merchandise.” 
The following is the opinion of the Musical World: 
“Parlor Organs. —Messrs. George A Prince & Co., have 
earned an enviable reputation for their manufacture of superior 
melodeons. In swee'ness and purity of tone, and sensibility to 
the touch, these excel all oihers. The same qualities belong lo 
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 a 
foreign manufacturer, since our own furnish an arlicie far supe¬ 
rior.” _ 
Extracts from Letters Received. 
“Our clergyman saysA Prince Melodeon is one of the 
necessaries of life.” 
“ I have used a Trince Melodeon for eight years, and it is still 
in perfect order.” 
“ The * 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.”
