I was SO gutted, My local charity shop Dorothy House had a very lovely pump organ that was there for weeks, for £100 which was then reduced to £70. I had the money but not the space :(.
But if I see another one I WILL make space for it...that or wait until I get my own house :p.
my pump organ plays way better...but urs is still kool, mine is about 40years younger then that one also, mine is in 100% working condition, got it for free a month ago, never been taken apart once..totally mint
I think they should bring back pump organs after you have had surgery or something like that the dr usually wants you to excirse a little to strenghten your legs or hart using a pump organ is perfect as you use your feet in movement plus its enjoyment as well,,it could be good excirse and healthy too,,
I have allways wanted a pump organ I collecet antiques,,,,but these pump organs are sure hard to find and if you do find one for sale chances are it wouldnt work,,
I found one from the 1880s in a flea market for 40 dollars. After I patched the bellows it played like a brand new one. I thought it may be missing it's console until I found a vintage ad and realized it did not come with one. The real trick is transporting one. They are out there to be had. No one wants to cart around heavy furniture, these days... except folks like us who collect antiques, lol
I was in the right place at the right time and got one with 10 stops inc. couplers for $1 (NZD). They aren't really all that expensive and the value of them is usually intrisic value due to being passed down the generations or whatever.
That must have leaks- judging by how fast he has to pump those pedals! My reed organ takes very little pumping to provide the full air. I'd say the bellows cloth is leaking and/or the internal valves are, and/or there are som cracks of leaks in the reed pan.
well this is called a harmonium or american organ and was invented by the french in 1632 or so and it has five octaves and foot bellows with multiple stops like that of the organ pipe and its small instrumentation is the single read harmonium called the indian harmonium, so americans and europeans did it much earlier than what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well there are two kinds of reed organs, both pumped by foot, the Harmonium works on air pressure, these smaller organs all work on vacuum, the pedals working the bellows are sucking the air out of the reservoir.

That organ needs its bellows restored. There probably a leak in the reservoir or pump. An organ shouldn't need to be pumped that fast.
