THE Estey Organ Works.

menses

E HAVE seriously considered the advisability of omitting from this Catalogue all allusion to our

Manufactory, and of confining ourselves simply to a description of the products. Inasmuch, however, z as this Catalogue will reach the hands of new inquirers, who will be as much interested as their predecessors in the establishment whence emanates the ‘*Leading Organ of the World,” we give below con- densed sketch of this the most extensive Reed Organ Works on the Globe.

They are beautifully situated on a plateau overlooking the village of Brattleboro. After adverse experiences both by fire and flood, Messrs. Esrry & Co. determined in 1869 to leave the village where they had been subjected to fire, and the valley of the ‘*Whetstone’’ where floods had overtaken them, and to this end purchased a large tract of land, a hundred acres or more, and proceeded to erect thereon substantial factories, from thirty to forty feet in width and one hundred feet long, with accommodations for more than six hundred employees.

Besides the eight main factories, and a half dozen others of nearly equal magnitude, should be mentioned the Brick Dry Houses, seven in all, constructed on a new plan, the invention of Mr. Futter, of the Company, and accommodating upwards of 100,000 feet of lumber. The lumber lying in the yards contiguous to the railway tracks is transferred to cars and run into the drying room where it remains until thoroughly dry; it is thence runto the ‘‘cutting up’’ room, where begins that series of transformations resulting in the ““EstEY ORGAN.”’

The immense Packrnc anp Storr Hovse contains 15,000 feet of flooring! With the very large variety of organs made necessary by so wide a range of taste among customers all over the world, it is necessary to carry a very large stock of organs in order that purchasers may be served promptly. Hence very extensive accommodations are required.

Tus Fire Proor ENGINE AND BOILER House (36 fect x 80 fect) contains seven large boilers of three hundred and fifty horse power, furnishing steam for the Corliss Engine, and for heating the whole establishment.

A separate building is also provided for the proper housing of the Srzam Fire Encrnes, deemed necessary for the better protection of the works. The steamers are manned by a thoroughly drilled company of workmen, under the same discipline as companies under municipal government.

Watchmen constantly on duty day and night visit every floor of each building oncean hour. Their visits and the time of each visit are recorded on a dial in the office, and woe to the man whose love of gossip leads him to tarry for a friendly chat, for the constant ticking of the clock, although unheard by him, tells the tale of the delay on the following morning when inspected by the Superintendent.

From the Orrice goes out a net work of Telephones, Speaking-Tubes and Electric Bells, bringing into instantaneous communication with headquarters all parts of the establishment.

‘Thus it will be seen that human ingenuity and foresight have been taxed to the utmost to prevent accident and provide for emergencies. Indeed, everything within the reach of skill and capital has been done to secure mnfort, convenience and health of the workmen and the safety, perfection, and economical working of the

e the establishment of the works in their present locality, a large and thriving village called EsTEYVILLE, ownup. The location and surroundings are unusually attractive, and the well kept streets and fine houses, with a prevailing atmosphere of neatness and comfort, give substantial evidence that thrift and industry leading elements in the populous community.

The Chapel Organ, illustrated above, is the lowest priced organ in our Chapel system. We have -made the price exceptionally low in order to place the instrument within the reach of the humblest church or other organization. More extended descriptions of the different styles are given below. We have decided to use the Vox Fubilente Reeds in all the organs of this style, but can substitute the Bril- diant Flute Reeds at the same price whenever so ordered.

ESTEY PARLOR ORGAN.

The Parlor Organ shown on the opposite page, is really a most desirable instrument and can but commend itself most effectively to every one. By a comparison of its dimensions with others it will readily be seen, that this organ is in no sense diminutive, and we assure the reader that the material and work- manship is first class. The case is not as expensive as some, but it is certainly very attractive and salable.

WegPlt is a source of satisfaction to the manufacturers of the Estey Organ that such a large number of the instruments made by them during the last forty years (upwards

of 175,000 !) are fo-day rendering most excellent service.

ESTEY

PHILHARMONIC CHAPEL ORGAN.

The Chapel Organ, illustrated on the seventh or opposite page, marks a new departure in organs for this purpose.

THE CASE is modest in appearance but really elegant. It is made of solid Black Walnut, with plain, low top, ornamental open back, and very substantial,

THE ACTION is especially adapted to develop the marvellous depth of tone not otherwise attainable. It is simple and effective, and not liable to get out of order.

THE BELLOWS is constructed with exceptionally large capacity.

THE TONE both in quality and power, is far in advance of anything heretofore produced. It possesses depth and richness combined with that sonorous quality so long looked for

in Reed Organs.

THE ORGAN itself, as a whole, is destined to become very popular, and we confidently expect a very large demand.

Style 430. One Five Octave Set of Philharmonic Diapason Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Vox Fubilante Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Viola Reeds, one Octave of Manual Sub-Bass Reeds, with the Vox Humana, Grand Organ and Harmonique Coupler, which

ESTEY DRAWING ROOM ORGAN.

For a medium grade of organ for the home, we confidently recommend the Drawing Room Style, to the cut of which, on the adjoining page, we invite examination. Of generous proportions and graceful in its contour, it is a most desirable instrument. We furnish a large variety of Actions, with their respective complement of Reeds, in this

case, but can only enumerate below a few of the most popular styles.

Style 15. One Two and one-half Octave Set of Diapason Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Vox Fubilante Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Melodia Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Viola Reeds, with Vox Humana.

&Bcauty, Utility and Durability are the desiderata in Reed Organs.

The Estey Organ is and has always been pre-eminent in each, and. stands

to-day without a successful rival.

ESUTEY CHANCEL! ORGAN.

For many years the chief reliance of the country church was the /Eolian, Melo- deon or Seraphine—small in compass, limited in capacity, and unsatisfactory in many ways.

These crude instruments were in time succeeded by the “Cottage Organ,” different in construction, more convenient, and with enlarged capacity. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of these found their way into public places, and “served well their day and generation.” With the advent of the Moody and Sankey movement, however, and the well-nigh universal use of a Reed Organ as an accompaniment to singing in public meetings, whether religious, political, or purely social, came the demand for an organ of larger scope, so designed that the player could face the audience and not be hidden by the instrument. Through various evolutions, therefore, has come the Chancel Organ, which, for capacity, grace, and richness of design, and thorough mechanical construction, has, to our knowledge, no equal.

Style 330. Two full Five Octave Sets of Reeds with Vox Himana, Sub-Bass, Octave Coupler, &c., &e. Eleven Stops:

Diapason, Vox Fubilante, Melodia, Viola, Dolce, Dulciana, Sub-Bass, Vo Humana, Harmonigue Coupler, I. Forte, II. Forte.

Reeds, Vive Octaves of Clartonet-Bourdon Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Wald Flute Reeds (brilliant), Two and one-half Octaves of Cornettino Reeds (beautiful effects), One Octave of extremely powerful AZanual Sub-Bass Reeds, the Harmondque Coupler, with Vox Humana, &c., &c. Fifteen Stops:

ESTEN CHANCEL ORGAN.

Wæ This Chancel Organ is a special production of the Estey Organ Company, and being protected by United States pat- ents, Nos. 9,958 and 190,843, all parties engaged in manufacturing or selling simi- lar organs are doing so in violation of these patents, and consequently are liable under the law.

That the Estey Organ Company are pioneers in the line of Church, Chapel or Chancel Organs may be zxferred from the fact that upwards of wine thousand Organs of this kind alone have been manufactured by them up to this time.

ESTE Y TRIUMPH ORGAN.

In no line of cases has the Estey Organ Company achieved greater success than in the “High Backs,” so called.

To the artistic eye the attempts of many manufacturers, in this line, are simply torturing. There seems to be a design to get together an incongruous mass of mold. ings, turnings, bits of thin lumber, &c., &c., built one upon another, to secure height alone, with apparently never a thought of grace and beauty.

It would, we think, well repay the intending purchaser to look well to the construc- tion of these articles, for in many instances they are “fearfully and wonderfully made.”

On the contrary the “Estey” is, from the original design to the finished organ, in the hands of experienced artisans whose whole motive is to produce the Brsr.

Style 155. One Two and one-half Octave Set of Diapason Reeds, one Two and one-

half Octave Set of Vox Fubilente Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Melodia Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Vola Reeds, with Vox Humana. Nine Stops:

PÆ We call attention to our warranty which is printed in full on the third page of the cover. It covers a period of five years from the date of manufacture, but instances are by no means rare where, although the warranty had expired before, we have made good our terms. While five years is a long enough period to warrant goods, it by no means represents the life of an organ. Twenvy-Five years at least, of constant use, is the experience on record with this Company.

ESTEY PHILHARMONIC ORGAN.

HEIGHT, 3 ft. g in; LENGTH, 5 ft; Dupre, 2 ft. 5 ina; WercHT (boxed), 4830 Ibs.

But little space is left us in which to present the merits of our new Philharmonic Organ. For those who can enjoy the privilege of seeing and hearing it, no commen- datory words are needed. But inasmuch as comparatively few who read these pages are so situated, we wish to say emphatically, that no other one-manual organ equals it in power and carrying capacity. It is a marvel and marks an epoch in the Reed Organ industry.

The Case, Bellows, Action, Reeds, Blow ing Mechanism, Voicing, Tuning and Finishing, all combine to produce an organ far in advance of the best organ hitherto made.

Style 100. Two and one half Octaves of Basset (16 ft.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Choral

(8 ft.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Diapason (8 ft.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Hite (4 tt.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Bourdon (16 ft.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Melodia (8 ft.) Reeds, Two and one-half Octaves of Viola (4 ft.) Reeds, One Octave of very heavy Manual Sub-Bass Reeds, with Coupler, Vox Humana, &c., &¢. Fifteen Stops:

Diapason, Basset, Choral, Fluie, Bourdon, Melodia, Viola, Dolce, Dulciana, Viola-Dolve, L Forte, Il. Forte, Sub-Bass, Harmonique, Vox Humana, The back is nicely finished, and a large space left comparatively free for the exit of the tone

ESTEY ACCLIMATIZED ORGAN.

Haron, 3 ft. 3in.; Lenern, 3 ft. 7 in; Devru, 1 ft. 12 in; Weicnr (boxed), 360 Ibs.

Style 200. The Acclimatized Organ is especially designed and constructed to endure hard usage and the severe climatic tests of tropical countries where the extremes of heat, moisture, the dry season, vermin, and many other unfavorable conditions must be met and provided for.

Until the advent of the Zstey Acclimatized Organ the introduction of a musical instrument into India and other similarly conditioned countries was extremely hazardous, and but very few were willing to take the risk,

Each succeeding year, however, increases very materially the demand for these organs, and the hundreds already sold are bearing constant testimony to their perfect trustworthiness.

No organ is constructed with more care even to the minutest detail than this.

‘The interior is furnished with one Two and one-half Octave Set of Diapason Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of H/ute Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Vox Fudilante Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Violette Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Melodia Reeds, one Two and one-half Octave Set of Viola Reeds, with Manual Sub- Bass, Harmonique Coupler and Vox Humana.

ESTEM HARMONIC ORGAN.

LENGTH, 4 ft. 8 in. (with Blow-Lever attached, § ft. 934 in.); DEPTH, 2 ft. 7 in.; HEIGHT, 4 ft. 3 in.; WercHT (boxed), 555 Ibs.

Style 85. The tastes of churches, lodges or societies, of various names, are as diverse as their- membership. With increasing prosperity and larger meeting

places comes the demand for larger and better accompaniments and furnishings.

The Harmonic Organ combines very large bellows capacity, with great variety of tone, and augmented power, in a rich, appropriate and very substantial case.

As will be seen, this organ is furnished with blowing-lever, so that a second person can operate the bellows if desired.

‘The capacious dimensions of the case admit of large space for Air Chambers, and thus secure a resonance rarely attained in organs of smaller proportions.

The Harmonic Organ has one Five Octave Set of Diapason Reeds, one Five Octave Set of Flute Reeds, one Three Octave Set of Clavionet Reeds, one Three Octave Set of Vox Fubilante Reeds, one Two Octave Set of Violetta Reeds, one Three Octave Set of Wald Flute Reeds, of great brilliancy, a very powerful Set of Manual Sub-Bass Reeds, the Vox Humana and the Harmomigue Coupler. Fourteen Stops:

ESTEY GRAND SALON ORGAN.

Since the advent of the Peerless Salon Organ, it has so far as we know stood without a rival in its own special sphere. It is an organ to make glad the heart of the artist, and one which, with its wealth of architectural beauty and adornment, will enrich the grandest Salon.

‘There is a variety of tone character in this organ, which entitles it to the considera- tion of all who can appreciate the des¢, and from this class has come a flattering demand and appreciative encomiums.

It is needless to speak of it in detail. Our reputation is, we think, a sufficient guarantee of its solid worth. Condensed description is appended.

ESTEY CATHEDRAL ORGAN.

The Cathedral Organ, specifications of which may be found below, represents the acme of Reed Church Organ Building.

Power, Expression and Delicacy of Touch are distinguishing features in this Organ.

Many of the tone effects, peculiar to the Salon styles, are here introduced with augmented and intensified results. This, in common with all of the Estey Pedal Organs, is constructed on the latest and most approved sýstem throughout. The position of key-board and pedals, the compass of the pedals (thirty notes), the accessory attachments, —in fact everything about the organ is adapted to the wants and the

convenience of the player.

A few Important Points |

@> The “Estey” is the Standard by which salesmen seek to sell their (inferior) organs. “Just as good as the Estey” is heard on every hand, but—Why? because the Estey is ‘the best” !! Unconsciously every use of that argument is a compliment to and a recognition of the proud position occupied alone by the Estey Organ.

@— The great reputation enjoyed by the Estey Organ is very largely due to their “TONE.” This has always been a distinguishing featu ut wonderful strides have been made during the last ten years. A breadth and depth of tone, without sacrificing the sweetness of former years, testifies to the loyalty of the Estey Organ Company to their motto, “Always at the head.”

@— But however perfect and captivating may be the Tone, if there be wanting the clement of durability, it goes for little or nothing.

PERFECTION OF MATERIAL is absolutely necessary to the durability and satisfactory working of an organ. It has come to be noted among dealers in the various commodities that go to make up an organ, that ‘Estey will have the best.” People of whom we buy say “We don’t see why this, and this, won't answer your purpose. None of your com- petitors would think of rejecting it, and they will certainly take it all.” So we select the best for our own use and let them dispose of the balance to others.

@»= PERFECTION IN DETAILS isa prominent feature of the Estey Organ. Constant and unremitting care is exercised by skilled inspectors, experts in their different branches. “Trifles lead to perfection, and perfection is no trifle,” is a trite saying of the old master, but as true at the close of the nineteenth century as at the beginning of the sixteenth.

@> Much might be said of the Cases, elegant, tasteful, substantial, well built, unique; of the Reeds, made of silver-brass of secret mixture found only in the Estey Organ; of the Bellows, with best paneled stock, Bessemer steel springs, the best coated rubber cloth, and constructed on approved mathe- matical. principles; of the S¥op Action, perfect in its working, with its metallic parts all coated with copper to prevent rust and soiling. We might speak of the superior quality of felts, leather and carpets; of the special attention which has been paid to making our organs easy of access in every part, in short, pages might be filled with items, interesting and truthful, connected with the manufacture of Estey Organs, but proofs of this kind are not needed in order to establish the fact that the Estey Organ leads the World!
