@lukuntri To make it simple, the reeds can produce some different types of sounds. Some techniques (as reeds in a box, or ventilating a reed) can produce others sounds. Some are 'like a horn,', 'like a flute', etc.
The numerotation is based on organ nomenclatura, following the number of 'feet' a pipe measures.
plz. let me know if the reeds are still made in the old style. in europe.. i hope they are made of brass. i want to purchase old reeds, especially germanreed
Awesome. I've never seen one w/two manuals. I understand you must pump with your feet, but do you know if anyone manufacture one of these with a pedal clavier?
Hello. In fact, numbers of harmonium manufacturers (Mustel, debain, Alexandre, even Estey for the reed-organs, etc) made ones with a pedal-keyboard. On old harmoniums, you have an arm on the side of the instrument : someone could pump for you while you were playing ! On others harmoniums, you can find an electric air system that provides air enough to the keyboards and the pedal-keyboard. I played it once, and will discpver one other next week! I'll put a video, and some photo's on the blog :)
Ah, wow. I cant wait to see this harmonium. I really want one of these now. I had a chance to purchase one for $80 a few years back, but passed due to my inability to transport it. Anyway, thanks for the knowledge.
En vrai, le Grand Orgue (appelé 'Grand jeu' sur les harmoniums) est assez impressionnant, de par sa puissance. Dans les semaines à venir, je vais nettoyer les différents jeux d'anches pour éviter les 'grésillements' des registres aigus.
