THE ESTEY ORGANS.
This Veteran House (established in 1846) holds its rank et the head, and are now finishing every month hundreds of Organs'and Melodcons, which are a just credit to American skill and enterprise.
The vast amount of patronage received, has been secured more by the actual merits of the instrument, than by extensive advertising and the pretentious pa- rade of their wares before the public. They have employed and retained, from the first, some of the finest mechanies and inventors of the age, and have adopt- ted, and patented more valuable improvements, than any other establishment in the land. As the result. their instruments stand unrivalled by anything found in this country or in Europe, as is admitted by all impartial judges. The most eminent Pipe-Organ builders and performers-the last to discover excellence in reed tones-pronounce them mueh superior to others.
They possess the following improvements :
THE PATENT HARMONIC ATTACHMENT is an octave coupler used on a single manual, and doubles the power of the instrument without increasing ity size or number of reeds. Thus, by the use of this improvement, an Organ eon- taining two sets of reeds is instantly made equivalent to one of four ; and a tri- reed equals an instrument of six sets of reeds, making the MOST POWERFUL instrument of its size yet known in this country.
THE PATENT MANUAL SUB-BASS brings into use an independent set of large and powerful SUB-BASS REEDS, which are played with the ordinary keys and controlled by a stop. The manner in which this set of reeds is placed upon the air chamber increases the volume of tone at least one-third. This new and val- uable invention requires no extra room, and has all the effect of pedal bass, and eun be used by any ordinary performer.
THE PATENT KNEE-SWELL, whereby the player has complete control over the instrument, obtaining a perfect CRESCENDO or DIMINUENDO. more beau- tiful than the Automatic Swell, or any other ever before used.
THE PATENT ORGAN BELLOWS greatly enhances the power and quality of the tone without increasing the size of the ease.
THE PATENT REED BOARD, whereby the tone is greatly improved, ren- dering it more like a Pipe Organ than is found in any other instrument. This important improvement is covered by two patents.
THE PATENT VOX HUMANA TREMOLO.
In attempting to describe the effect of this stop. we are at a loss for hing cage ; its benuties cannot be written, but must be heard to be appreciated. By this stop un ordinary performer can produce an effect which requires a lifetime of practice for an artist upon the Violin.
It changes entirely the reed-tone, giving the sympathetic sweetness of the IlexAx Voice, making it so melodious and pure that it never fails to enehaut the appreciative listener.
The Tremolo is produced by means of a REVOLVING FAN placed just back of the swell, which imparts to the tone a charming wave-like efeet hitherto un- known in instrumental music.
THE VOX JUBILAANTE
Is a new and beautiful stop, peculiar to the ESTEY ORGANs. The charneter ol' the tone is marked and wonderfully effective, giving a style of music hitherto unattained in instruments of this class. This is accomplished by an extra set of reeds, ingeniously arranged, and adjusted to meet this special, and hitherto un- supplied want. It is considered by competent judges a great success.

Popularity of the Dunham Piano.
We are sometimes asked why the Dunham Piano Forte has not been more prominently before the public for the last eight years. We give the reason. At the commencement of the late war, the Dunbam, senior. concluded to de- crease the very large manufacturing done by himself, so long as public at- tention should be so completely absorbed in the stirring events then tran- spiring, consequently he diminished his force employed and sent during the war the greater portion of his pianos to the Canadian Provinces. ( Where the demand for the Dunbam Pianos cell for more than five hundred instru- ments every year).
At the conclusion of the war, he associated with him two sons as partner., built a new factory, and the firm of JOUN B. DENHAM & Soxs are now manu . facturing very largely.
The high opinion of their pianos entertained by Piano Dealers is evinced by the great desire of the principal houses to secure the Dunham agency.
