Description

Illustrated Catalogue of Cottage Organs (1875), J. Estey & Company (Brattleboro, Vermont), p.16–17

No. 34. Our Boudoir Organ contains Three full Sets of Reeds, including Vox Jubilante and Violetta. It has also the Vox Humana, Harmonic Attachment and Manual Sub-Bass. Key-board of five octaves compass. Improved Knee-Swell, Reed-board and Bellows. We believe this to be the most complete and elegant Instrument in use. The design is entirely new and original, and for the first time offered to the public. The Case is of Solid Black Walnut, with elaborate carvings. French and other fancy walnut being used in its ornamentation, beautifully finished in shellac and oil.

Although the outward style of this Case is new, the internal features of it have been perfected for some time. We introduced in iS66 sounding chambers in the upper part of an Organ, and have used them in our Boudoir Organ since. We have added also such other improvements as experience has shown to be of real worth, and would be desirable. Ten Stops:

Melodia,    Diapason,
Viola,      Flute,
Violetta,    Vox Jubilante,
Vox Humana, Forte,
Sub-Bass,   Harmonic.

There are very many minor things that might he spoken of in relation to our Organs, such as Ivory fronts to the Keys, the best quality of Ivory being used by us; Keys bushed to prevent rattling, and always preserving an even and delicate touch. In fact everything connected with our Organs is of the very best quality and workmanship
