THE ESTEY ORGAN.
l''STEY & CO. employ only the most skillful workmen in J ^ evcr>' department, use only the best and most carefully scioctecl nuuerbl, and jxirform with the unfailing precision of intricate j.'^achincry much of the work which is elsewhere done by hand. Accomplished inventors are continually on the lookout for any possible addition to or improvement in the machhiery, and new* devices arc being constantly tried and ac> ccpicd. No c.vpcnse or labor is spared to attain the acme of mcchilnical ingenuity. In view of these facts, wlien it is con» sidcred that it takes six weeks to perfect a reed, that sixty trained men and women are constantly employed as tuners, in separate apartments, and that the same care is bestowed upon every part before it is sent out as completed, it is not difficult to appreciate the manifest superiority of the Estby Organ. Furthermore, it must be conceded that the leading improvements in Reed Or¬ gans of other manufacture have been, with few exceptions, originated, perfected and introduced by Messrs. Estey & Co. Their instruments are simply unrivalled in America or Europe. Scientirte men, inventors and manufacturers frc:n all parts of the world have visited their establishment, and unanimously pro¬ nounce it unsuqjassed for comprehensiveness and perfection of separate detail and general system. To thisjudgment is added the highest testimony from every part of this countr>' and Europe to the exalted merits of the Estey Organ. Such testimony, coming from all quarters, is a test of value and approval which cannot be gainsaid. It is the voice of culture and refinement bearing proud witness to that truism, as old as hunmn endeavor and human fruition, that only true merit achic\*cs true success.

No mere embellishment of outward case, however, can do justice to the extreme brilliancy and “lifting” quality of this Organ. It is the most powerful One Manual Organ made, yet so simple in arrangement that ordinary’ players can manage it easily. The player can operate the foot Blow-Pedals, or have the aid of a second person to operate the Bellows with the Blow-Lcvcr, if desired.

Messrs. Estey & Co. assert, \vithout fear of contradiction, i that they have invented and adopted more valuable improvements in Reed Instruments than any other manufacturer in the world, r Very good proof of this may be found in the fact that other f prominent establishments, after vainly endeavoring to depreciate [ these improvements, have resoried io Uu scarcely more honombU \ device of hmiaiing; them. .Thi.s is only additional evidence that ( the credit for originality and superior excellence belongs pre- ^ eminently to the Estey Organ. Purchasers should therefore ( guard against dealers who offer them inferior instniments which ( are at best but imitations. <
The Public may rely upon the fact that, as past as ^
REAL l.MPROVEMENTS CAN BB PERFECTED, THEY WIIJ. BE INTKO- ; Dt'CBD IN THE IlSTBY OrGAN. '
Among the many important improvements already adopted ^ in these celebrated instruments, particular attention is directed to ( the following: i
The Patent Vox Humana. ^
This wonderful invention was perfected and brought out in ( the Estey Organ in 1865. It consists of a revolving fan, placed ( juSt back of the reeds, which, when set in motion by the appro- ( priate stop, imparts to the lone a wondrously thnlhng effect, ( unknown in instrumental music before its introduction. In fact, ( the Estey Vox Humana changes the reed-tone completely, ' giving it the .sympathetic sweetness of the human voice. Its soft, ' wave-like melody is so vibrant and pure that it never fails to r enchant the listener. It is undeniably the first and only '
MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION OF THE HUMAN VOICE EVER GIVEN ? TO THE WORLD.
The Patent Vox Jnbilante. f
The character of the tone of this register is marked and sur- !- prisingly effective. Competent judges promptly pronounce it an ^
ILLUSTRATED PRICE LIST.
j unqualified success, and it has certainly done much to popularize ^
) Reed Organ Music. On the Estey Organ, it enables the per- >
^ former to produce grand and thrilling effects.
I The Patent Violetta. ; j
) This is a Solo Stop of great beauty, indispensable when an [ ' ) ujiusiially soft and sweet tone is required to give proper expres* (
) Sion to the music. ^ (
) [
) The Patent Harmonique Coupler. [
j This is an Octavc-Coupicr used on a single manual, which [ j doubles the power of the instrument without necessitating an in- <
^ crease in the number of reeds. /
] The Patent Manual Sub-Pass. (
I The manner in which these reeds are placed on the air-cham- ;
■ ber increases the volume of tone at least one-third.
I Tlic Patent Knee-Swell. ^
) _ ^ I
) This Swell gives the player complete control of the instru- [
) menc, and produces a perfect cresceruio or diminuendo. [
] r
) The Patent Organ Bellows. [
) This invention greatly enhances the power and quality of ^ j the tone, witliout increasing the size of the instrument
I The Patent Keed-Buartl.
^ Tins Rced-Board gives the Estey Organ a vastly improved > ' tone, making it much more like a pipe organ than any other in ^ \ the market. It is an improvement of inestimable importance, j and is covered \>y/our patents.
I The Patent Keetls.
) The number of very great inmrovements in Reeds have been ) perfected by Messrs. Estey & Co., which are rcadil)r discern- ) iblc in the power, variety and beauty of tone characterizing their \ organs.
) Improved Tone, ;
) It is pre-eminently the quality of tone that places the ( 1 Estey Organ in advance of all others. It is a Reed Organ I ) possessing the invalnable desideratum of a pipedike tone, which I ^ IS round, full and powerful, and yet capable of the most delicate ( ) articulation and shades of feeling. There is the same difference ( ) between the Reeds of the Estey Organ and those of other ( 1 makers, that there is between a cultivated and an uncultivated ( ) human voice. (
