MOLLER ORGANJ^OR EXPOSITION.
To be Erected in the Convention Hall at the
Jamestown Exposition.
SCOTT ENLARGES AGENCIES.
Arranges With John Wanamaker to Handle
His Full Piano Line in Middletown, N. Y.
(Special to The Review.)
Hagerstown, Md., April 8, 1907.
M. P. Moller, the prominent pipe organ builder
of this city, has received an order for a large
pneumatic organ to be installed in the new Con-
vention Hall of the Jamestown Exposition.
The organ is being built especially for the hall,
and the specifications have been drawn with a
view of securing an instrument of sufficient vol-
ume to fill the immense building and contain a
large variety of tone combinations requisite for
an organ which will be used largely for organ
recitals and concert purposes and also to accom-
pany the large choruses in the different oratorios
which are to be rendered from time to time at
the exposition.
The action in the Exposition organ will be the
Moller's Patent Tubular Pneumatic, which will be
used throughout the entire instrument, including
couplers, stop-action and combinations. The sys-
tem of action has been used by Mr. Moller in
more than 400 organs, and after being subjected
to the most severe tests has won the endorsement
of the most eminent organists on account of the
lightness of touch, promptness of response and
its simplicity of construction, which makes it
most durable.
The instrument will contain ten couplers, and
will be equipped with Moller's Patent Adjustable
Combinations, by use of which it is possible for
the organist to change the stops on any combina-
tion at will without leaving the keyboard or in
any way interfering with the playing, thus mak-
ing possible as many musical effects as could
otherwise be gotten from an instrument of double
the size.
In spite of the fact that Mr. Moller has on hand
at this time contracts for forty large organs,
he expects to have the organ installed ready for
use at the opening exercise of the exposition, and
every effort is being put forth at the factory to
that end.

Review Office, 195 Wabash Avenue,
Chicago, 111., April 10, 1907.
The big factory of the H. P. Nelson Co., at Mari-
anna and Herndon streets, this city, is very busy.
The demand for the H. P. Nelson piano has grown
to such an extent as almost to test the capacity
of the plant. Besides this, Mr. Nelson is prepar-
ing to bring out a player-piano and will have the
first completed instrument on the floor in a few
days. Several new styles H. P. Nelson pianos are
also in work, and they promise to still further
heighten the reputation of these excellent instru-
ments.
In their recent literature the company thus
enumerate some of the points of merit of the
H. P. Nelson piano: "Built-up acoustic rim;
built-up bridger; double casters, nickel-plated,

is the greatest success of the day.
It possesses a scale of rare even-
ness, atone of remarkable sonority
and richness, with a quality that
is highly orchestral. Our latest
styles of Grands and Uprights
mark a decided advance in the art
of piano-making. We court inves-
tigation. Some territory still open.
