Original Narrative: THE Regal here drawn is the prototype of the modern harmonium, but with " beating " not " free " reeds. The beating reed is usually employed in the organ, and it derives its appellation from the reeds touching the sides of their frames. The beating reed was introduced in the fifteenth century, but whether in the simple regal first, or as part of an organ, is not known . In England, the word " regal " has been also used to denote a portable organ, as is shown by Sir John Hawkins's suggestion that the stage direction to the players ' scene in Hamlet, ' Enter a duke and a duchess with regal coronets , " should be " with regals and cornets." The regal is said to have been much used in convents to accompany the singing ofthe nuns. The Belgian Government kindly allowed a selection of the Conservatoire instruments, of which the Regal here drawn was one, to be played in the Historic Concerts given in July 1885, in the Music Room of the Inventions Exhibition. This instrument, when on its stand, measures 2 feet 8 inches in height, the width is the same, and the length is 4 feet 2 inches . The case is of finely-carved walnut. The compass of the key-board is from the second E below, to the second A above, middle C-about the extent of the human voice, and the frequent compass of ofold old organs.
