CABINET ORGANS.
Congratulate you on the introduction of a new musical instrument, long wanted, and sure to find its way into every household of taste and refinement. L.M. Gottschalk.
A Very efficient church organ, brought within a small [compass?], not easy to get out of order, and sold at a low price. New York Examiner.
Best of their class of which we have knowledge. More than Two Hundred Expert Organists
In every respect far superior to everything of the kind I have seen, whether in Europe or America. Gen. Washington Morgan.
Never have seen anything of the kind which interested me as much. George F. Root.
Exceeds in my estimation every other instrument of this general class. [Thomas Hasters?]
[Their?] favorable testimony of nearly every organist or pianist of note in this country, together with that of certain distinguished foreign authorities, has forestalled our appreciative comments upon the excellence and value of these carefully made instruments. New York World.
Once hearing them will satisfy the most skeptical that they are just what the church has been waiting for. New York Observer.
Really very effective and beautiful instruments. [Lowell Martin?]
Grand accompaniment when the congregation sing. [Lancaster?]
As compared with Melodeons, [Harpsichords?], &c., the Cabinet Organ is certainly superior in quality and volume of tone, while its power of expression can hardly be too highly praised. William [Manor?]
Next to a church organ, and that a good sized one, the best instrument with which we are acquainted to accompany church song. New York Musical Review.
Surpasses everything in this line I have seen, whether French or American. John [unintelligible]

A NEW METHOD FOR THE PIANO-FORTE. THE MUSICAL CURRICULUM BY GEO. R. ROOT.
This is emphatically a new book in a new field. It provides instruction and music, not only for the Piano-Forte, but also for the things that should be studied with it, viz: the Voice and Harmony--not harmony through the eye, but harmony through the ear; not dry calculations, but living and beautiful forms. It goes on the plan that the pupil should know as well the chords and harmonies he is in while playing and singing, as he does the key or kind of time; and moreover it proves that these things can be done by preparing well for each subject, and then by adapting the instruction, and the music to the state of the pupil, and making the steps succeed each other in true progressive order.
The whole book may be divided into two kinds of lessons--the one for musical culture and the other for muscular culture. Not that there is no practice for the muscles in the former, nor exercise for the musical taste in the latter, but each is devoted mainly to its own object. Those lessons which are designed to awaken, develop, and strengthen a love for music, and which are imparted a knowledge of time, [tone?], and expression. (Rhythmics, Melodies, and Dynamics,) are written in many pleasant and tuneful forms, and are called exercises, [pieces?], [songs?] etudes and solfeggios, etc., while those which are simply for the development and strengthening of the muscles of the fingers, hands, and vocal organs, do not pretend to be pleasant or tuneful, but depend upon the benefits they confer in the way of flexibility and execution, for their popularity. These lessons are called Technics, and embrace five finger exercises, scales, arpeggios, and miscellaneous exercises of many kinds and forms.
The contents of the book may be summed up as follows:
Instrumental exercises for reading [unintelligible], the acquirement of musical knowledge and the cultivation of the taste; numbered but bearing no other names than the topics they illustrate and teach. 224 Vocal exercises and solfeggios for similar purposes 48 Technics 419 Divided as follows--Five Finger Exercises 78 Scales, Major and Minor 115 Arpeggios, Major and Minor 146 Vocal 45 Miscellaneous 35 Piano [unintelligible] that may be played as duets and trios 44 Chromatic exercises 21 Songs 39 Exercises in Thorough Base 21 Pieces for the Piano 43 Of the foregoing numbers, are used for the study of transposition 120 These when played according to directions, increase the lessons in the book to 1485
