Bonjour. Je fait actuellement quelques recherches au sujet des harmoniums Debain. Serait-il possible de connaître les numéros de série de celui-ci (gauche et droite) ? De même, êtes-vous certain de la date de fabrication (Une date a-t-elle été retrouvée) ? Merci beaucoup pour votre aide !
@iSim0641 C'est clair ! Même après restauration, il a encore ce petit côté imparfait qui lui donne tout son charme ! Sa voix témoigne des souffrances par lesquelles il est passé :)
It is extremely beautiful the sound. What is the name of the song? From corpse bride, yes? Very nice little instrument. Very cute, I saw one in a barn once at an estate sale, but it was in Norway, so I couldnt buy it and take it home with me:)
Hello, the sound could be better in fact; and this very old instrument need repairings again today. It's not so little, and in french wood (very heavy !). The songs are mixed; there is a litte of the 'Folia' theme, and a little of Tim Burton indeed :) Let me know if you can find your own instrument ... There a a lot on the Net and in bargain stores !
Wow, welcome to the club ! It has a great tone, from very bright 'cor anglais' to the very sweet flute. But mine needs an other revision : with the air of his new location, wood and touchs have moved a lot ...
Oui, tout à fait ! Les tirants et genouillères sont tous d'origine; les étiquettes de jeux sont en papier, recouvertes d'une fine pastille de plastique transparent.
its nice to see people taking an interest in these pieces of beautiful instruments. I too have taken on the task of rescuing 2 reed organs and have been restoring them strange thing is , that of the two I have both have the same notes not working in the form of Broken reeds each organ has a broken reed of the first d. any idea why both would have the same problem?
Interesting post. I have also a reed-organ, but the first D is OK. I had that problem on the harmonium you see in the video. The problem was caused by rust (? water+iron) on the biggest reeds. They fold, then broke ... Perhaps because they were the most lenth, so the most fragile.
I meant to say D#, on both instruments, there was no sign of any corrosion on these reeds . I ts such a coinciodence for both to have the same problem on the exact same note.
Muchas gracias ! Tis videos esta muy bueno ! Pero que es la marka (?), la fabricacion de to armonio ? I hope you will post more; mine will come next week. Hasta mas tarde :)

j'adore le son! Personellement je trouvew que le fait que ce soit un vieil instrument ajoute un petit quelquechose

This is the very same instrument I've got at home. Mine is dated 1871. Wonderful tone isn't it ? Good luck with it, Nico

Yes, indeed, but very 'sensitive'. His wood moves a lot withe very change of temperature or humidity ... But the reeds don't : yipee !

Very curious, indeed. If I found something in my documentation, I'll say it to you.
