TVTASON AND HAML:IN>S.: PSINET A R(3-ANS' ' "■ ' ■ v> ■ . \j Just Landed, Twenty^Five of these Fine Instruments. the superiority Of the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs is derived, not only from peculiar skill IN construction, especially in voicing, and the EXTRAORDINARY EXCELLENCE of MATERIAL and wORKMANdniP employed, and the, pos r session of the most extensive and complete machinery and facilities for manufacture; in THB "WORLD, but also from the exclusive.use: OF IMPORTANT INVENTIONS. The most valuable improvements in such instruments; those which have been chiefly instrumental in bringing them to their present popularity and usefulness, have been effected by those now associated in this company. The art of voicing reeds, the. most difficult and impor tant process in the manufacture of such instru ments, was discovered by Mr Emmons Hamlin, Of thi3 Company, and has been brought to, HIGHEST PERFECTION IN THESE ORGANS. Having it as their earnest ambition to produce the BEST'INSTRUMENTS OK THE CLASS IN THE. world, they have been eager to obtain the use of evory valuable invention, wherever made; and their extensive business and ample means have enabled them to succeed in this endeavour. WHAT MOST DISTINGUISHED SINGERS 'siY. There can be no more critical judges of quality of tone than the most eminent Binders of the world. In New York and othor principal cities the Mason and Hamlin Organs are always selected for use in the Operas and Concerts. We give 'the judgment respecting them of many of the most eminent singers who. have visited America. • . From Mile. CHRISTINA NILSSON and other Members of the Strakosch Opera Company. We take pleasure in recommending the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organ .as a very beautiful instrument, and consider it the best now in use.

GOUNOD, the distinguished Com poser of " Faust," who having used the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs in his concerts, writes as follows to the Agent for these organs in London. Allow me, in thankinpr you for this organ which you have placed at my disposal for my series of concerts, to express my very favourable opinion on the charm of this instrument, the tones of which, both delicate and full, combine so well with the voice. Ido not doubt that the Mason and Hamlin American Organ will be of excellent and valuable use in all vocal or instrumental combinatians of moderate limits. CH. GOUNOD. Tavistock House. From Dr. J. STAINER, Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, London. Dear Sib —I have been very much pleased with your (Mason and Hamlin) American Organs on all occasions on which. I have had to play upon them. Their tone is remarkably pure and free from reediness, and their touch all that could be desired. Yours truly, J. STAINER, Mus. Doc. From JULIUS EICHBERG, Direc tor of Bosto Conservatory of Music. In quality of tone—the chief excellence in such instruments—l think your Organs decidely excel all others ; and that in the various other characteristics requisite in a good instrument, they are deserving of equally high praise. Indeed, I am led from experience to believe that the more ciiticaily they are tested and compared, and the more competent the judge, the mere certain and high will be the moed of superiority awarded them.
