Yes, this organ was leaking air badly at the time. The bellows have since been re-covered and a vacuum suction unit has been added.

The bellows and reservoir must be leaking air like a sieve to need to pump the pedals THAt fast!
I'll see if I have time to do this piece on my reed organ showing the speed of the pumping action needed, the organ was rebuilt in 1985ish with new bellows cloth.

This instrument plays very well. I love it's sound. I am wondering about the bellows, however. You footwork is very fast or it may just be my perception. Has it been restored?

This particular organ is a Kimball. I also have a Packard from the mid 1800s and a Mason & Hamlin.
