96M. Stadlez, St. Petersburg. Exhibit—Harmonicum.
97This exhibit deserves an award:
98For tone quality of the highest merit and excellence in every respect. The thirty-one stops give all the sonorities and combination of an orchestra. The four knee stops produce the double prolongation or sustained sounds allowing vibration as long as desired, while the hands of the player are free for other work. The instrument has a most perfect percussion mechanism, which produces an effect and precision to the flute and the other stops. The mechanism of the pedals and bellows allows the player to give the softest effects of crescendo and diminuendo.
99The action of the instrument is first-class throughout and well regulated. The touch is easy and elastic and it can be seen that in the construction only the best materials are used and that the workmanship is of the best.
100Approved: K. Buezn. (Signed) Prosper Lamal, President Departmental Committee. Individual Judge.
