It's a little dodgy in places, but here's my rendition of the 'Trumpet Hornpipe' (also known as the theme tune from Captain Pugwash) played on a 1960's 'Royal Artist' reed organ.
@cruddiestcrudever It appears to be an electric chord organ. These were tremendously popular in the late 50s, 60s and 70s and were made by a lot of big companies. This happens to be a very nice example. Many were manufactured as childrens instruments or to teach a beginner simple songs. There are a ton of variations though.
Bontempi? Trouble was, they had plastic reeds...

I'm not a fan of this style reed (chord) organ.
Traditional reed organs sound cleaner.

What an odd instrument, its just a big accordion. Sounds ok though.
