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 workmanship employed, and the pos session of the most extensive and complete machinery and facilities for manufacture in the world, but also from the exclusive USE of important inventions. The most valuable improvements in such instruments ; those which havo bren chiefly instrumental in bringing them to their present popularity and usefulness, have been effected by those now associated iv this company. Tho art of voicing reeds, tho most difficult and impor tant process in the manufacture of such instru ments, was discovered by Mr Emmons Hamlin, of this Company, and ha 3 been brought .to HIGHEST PERFECTION IN THESE ORGAJW. Having it as their earnest ambition to produoo "• 1110 BEST INSTRUMENTS OF THE CLASS IN THE world, they have been eager to obtain the use of.Jovery valuable invention, wherever made; and their extensive bu3i_es3 and ample means have enabled them to succeed in this endeavour. WHAT MOST DISTINGUISHED SINGERS S X Y. There cau bo no mare critical judges of quality of tone than the most eminent singers of tho world. In Now York and other principal cities the Mason and ILamlin Organs are always selected for u.:o in the Opera 3 and Concerts. Wo giro the judgment respecting them of many of tho mo.t .mia.nt singers who have visited America. From M'lle. CHRISTINA NILBSON and other Members of the Strakosch Opera Company. We take pleasure in recommending the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organ as a vory beautiful instrument, and consider it the best now in use. CHRISTINA NJLSBON, ANNIE Louisk Cary, Marie Leon Duval, Victor Capoul, P. Brignoli, &C , &c. From THEODORE WACHTEL, Tenor to the Farepa-Rosa Grand Opera Combination, AD. NEUENDORFF. CARL ROSA and C. SANTLEY. Wo heartily recommend the MASON AND Hamlin o<<gans as the best instruments of the class made. They have more power and greater smoothness and fulness of tone, with equality and uniform character throughout their registers. Theodor Wachtel, An. NEUENDORFF, Carl Rosa, C. Santley. From CH. GOUNOD, the distinguished Com poser of " Faust," who having used the Maßon and Hamlin Cabinet Organs in his concerts, writes as follows to the Agent for these organs in London. Allow me, in thanking you for this organ which you have plttced at my disposal for my series of concerts, to express my very favorable opinion on the charm of this instrument, the tones of which, both delicate and full, combine so well with the voice. I do not doubt that the Mason and Hamlin American Organ will be of excellent and valuable use in all vocal or instru mental combinations of moderate limits. CH. GOUNOD. 'Tavistock House. From Dr. J. STAINER, Organist o [St. Paul' Cathedral, London. Dear Sir,—l 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 reediuess, and their touch all that could be desired. _ Yours truly, J. STAINER, Mus. Doc. From JULIUS EICHBERG. Director of Bost o 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 critically they are tested and compared, and the more competent the judge, the mere certain and high will be the moed of superiority awarded them.
