| TEXT | The fame of the Estey organ is of such a world-wide character, it is so universally accepted as the standard in its various styles, being recognized as the best in every way, that any further reference to its well-earned laurels would be superfluous. The mammoth manufacturing interest of the Estey Organ Company was established in 1846 by the firm of Messrs. Estey & Greene, which was subsequently succeeded by that of Messrs. J. Estey & Co. In 1883, the Estey Organ Company was organized, the representative members of which are Mr. Jacob Estey, Mr. L. K. Fuller and Mr. J. J. Estey, son of the senior partner. The company's extensive works are beautifully situated on a plateau overlooking the town of Brattleboro, Vermont. In addition to the main buildings are the new brick dry houses, constructed on a new plan, jhe invention of Mr. Fuller, of the company, and which will accommodate about one hundred thousand feet of lumber, and is connected by a tram-way with the lumber yards of the company, constantly holding two million feet of lumber. The immense packing and storehouse is in itself larger than many of the factories of the self-styled "largest manufacturers on the globe," containing as it does nearly fifteen thousand feet of flooring. They manufacture every variety of organ, both as regards style and price suiting all classes of the public, while in every case the internal mechanism attains the same high standard of excellence. Among their numerous beautiful styles are the "Four Octave," "Five Octave," "Old English", "Chapel" organs in vast variety, the "Boudoir" organ the "Harmonic," the "Folding or Acclimatized"organ specially rnanufactured for tropical climates. The case closes almost hermetically and it is confidently believed that all the hazards incident to great climatic extremes and changes are faithfully guarded against in this splendid instrument. The two-manual organ is designed for churches, lecture halls, etc., and is a great favorite with organists. The one-manual pedal organ enables professors and students to practice legitimate organ music in their dwellings, and is proving a great success. The Boudoir organ, pipe top is a magnificent instrument, both in its music and appearance. Their new Salon organ is a marvel of perfection; we have no hesitation in pronouncing it the finest reed organ yet manufactured. In its marvellous qualities of tone it is simply unapproachable; its characteristic voicing is the result of years of study and experiment, and one skilled in its use has at his command a whole orchestra, while its unique and tasteful case, introducing the highest ideal of architectural design, is without a rival. The firm's references include the most eminent composers and best judges in the world. The late Richard Wagner said their organ "gave him the greatest pleasure." Franz Liszt was "charmed and delighted with them." Sir Julius Benedict says they " are distinguished by power and fulness of tone with admirable purity and softness." Ole Bull, Franz Abt, Joachim, Grossman, Saint Saens, Sternberg, Rubinstein, and hundreds of the other leading composers and musicians in the old and new worlds, join in their praise of the Estey organ, proving conclusively its inequalled merits. The New York general agency for the Estey organ has been permanently in the hands of the widely known and responsible firm of Messrs. Saxe & Robertson for the last twenty years. Their office and spacious warerooms are unusually centrally located at No. 831 Broadway, where a splendid assortment of the Estey organ can alsvays be sesn. The firm controls the wholesale trade in this State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, and have sub-agents all over their large territory. Mr. George G. Saxe and Mr. James H. Robertson are both natives of New York State, practically experienced business men of recognized talents and energy, and who have ably and successfully conducted the permanent trade developed in the line of the famous Estey organs. |
