The Ten Guinea Harmonium - % vill be taken in exchange for any more expensive ones at full price if required . The more expensive Harmoniums , with from three to ten stops , range from 15 to 30 guineas . They are equally adapted to the church or drawing-room ; for the former , it will be found most valuable , and in many respects preferable to the organ . Messre .
