nently in Henry VII. 's Chapel. The instrument
is appropriately entitled "the Vocalion," for it is
ingeniously constructed on scientific principles in
accordance with the laws by which the musical
tones of the human voice are produced and modi-
lied. The vocalion resembles in form a small
organ, and is constructed of various dimensions,
some having but one row of keys (or manuals),
others having two key-boards and pedals. From
reeds being used, it has been erroneously sup-
posed that the vocalion is a species of harmonium.
This is not the case. The tones of the vocalion
are produced by parallel bands of brass, some-
times two, sometimes three to each note; and to
these are attached wires or metal ligatures acting
in sympathy or constraint, assisting as well as
regulating the speech of the note; the analogy
with vocal laws being still carried out by the cavi-
ties through which the tones emerge. It need
scarcely be said that the sound is realized by wind
from bellows, as in the organ. The tone is most
peculiar, and becomes more liked the more it is
heard. There is nothing metallic about it, the
effect being something between that of a sympa-
thetic human voice and the sighing sweetness of
an iEolian harp. Although not calculated for the
execution of extremely rapid music, it is fully
capable of supporting a large number of voices,
with which its tones are peculiarly suited to amal-
gamate; indeed, there is a charming sostenuto
effect, and something almost pathetic in the quality
of tone, that render it eminently fitted for devo-
tional use, in which respect it should prove a
desirable acquisition where the expense of an
organ cannot be afforded.—London Daily News.
