During this long period they have manufactured a vast number of instruments of all styles; IJAND WHEREVER THEY IAVE BEEN EXHIBITED IN COMPETITION WITH THE IN STRUMENTS OF OTHER MAKERS, THEY HAVE INVARIABLY TAKLEN THE IGHEST PREMIUM.96A

THE LAST TRIUMPe OF OARHIART & NEEDHAM.

At tho Fair of the American Institute held in New York in 1865, Carhart & Needham received the Special Gold

Medal over all other reedinstr-uments in competition. 'The Judges were Dr. Wm. Berge, C. B. Seymour (critic of the

N. Y. Times), Thomas Appleton, organ builder of Boston, George Jardine, organ builder of New York, and Dr. E. Ringer, an expert.

EXTRACTS FROM THE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE JUDGES:

From report of Dr. Wim. Berge. "The quality of the tone is the best I havo ever heard;

and the number of stops surpassed my expectations. The delicacy of touch and the quickness of speech are remarka. ble. I consider the Parlor Organ of Carhart & Needham to be the best on exhibition, and entitled to the highest award of the institute."

From the report of C. B. Seymour. "The undersigned thinks it proper to suggest that Car.

hart & Needham should receive a Special First Premium for their large Parlor Organ."

From report of Thomas Appleton. "No. 526 is the best for, 1st, It contains more reeds and

of greater variety than any other. 2d, The reeds are placed above the key-board, thereby allowing a greater vol ume of-sound to be heard. 3d, The successful application of the swell which makes this instrument resemble the church organ more nearly than any provious arrangemoeat. 4th, The voicing of the reeds is remarkable, and in the smoothness and quality of tone they resemble pipos more than reeds. ile-The instrumnent is undoubtedly superior to any ever before constructed wioth reeds."-V%

From report of George Jardine. Carhart & Needham were the first in the world to dis

cover and demonstrate that vibrating tongues or reeds can descend in the bass with the very finest quality of tone, rich, round and full, of quick articulation and free from toindiness, to the 32 feet tone of C. C. Co."

From report of Dr. Ringer. "'No. 526 is the best for its superior softness, ovenness

and power of tone, being less reedy than in any instru ment I have examined. 2d, For the great number of keys of different character of tone, which give the player an alnost infinite variety of combinaLions." -

From Watson's Weekly Art Journal. AwARDS TO MUSICAL INSTRUHENTS.-A Gold Medal was

aNvarded at the late Fair of the American Institute to CAR HART & NEEDHAM, for the best reed instrument on exhi bition-a most deserved testimonial.

II They are an exceedingly good substitute for an organ, and I can speak of them in the highest termis. "

GEO. W. MOnGAN. "I have found them to be the finest itnstrunment of the

class I ever saw." GzO. F. BnisTow. "They are entitled to be ranked as the first and best

among instruments of their class " WM. A. KNG. I The tone is incomparable, and they are far in adqance of

any other instrument of a similar kind." CHAL8s FRADEL.
