Mason Hamlin reed organ Chapel model with finished back. Wording on video is wrong Paul C did not restore this organ. It was restored by Casey Pratt, one of the country's foremost rebuilders and purchased by Paul Carton a few years ago. This video includes demonstration of Pedal Point stop. This organ is still available for sale

In many ways similar to one I just found that needs restoration. Mine is the M+H #501. Actually "almost" a Lizst but without the Pedal point and the 2'. Otherwise the same. Wow..........it weighs a ton. Your instrument looks to be circa 1915?

@Musique3579 A fine instrument. Give us a call we can restore it for you. Doug at Piano World

Hi , could i ask 2 questions please.What is the "name" of the stop that causes the notes to play that arent been touched? , also what is the stop called that he presses at the end?.Will the same name be on any type of organ , as i have a Mason & Hamlin here at the moment but would like to get another one with these features as well.Many thanks Daniel :)

There are two stops that can cause notes to play without pushing them: one is a coupler where you play a note and a coupler will press a note an octave above or below it. The other shown on this organ is called Pedal point because it will hitch down a key that is pressed until another key is pressed to release it. This usually affects only one octave in the bass like in this organ. It is seldom found on reed organs and I have never seen it on a pipe organ

@DuoArtDanOz the stop that makes the key stay down is called '' prolongement'', it s switched off during playing by lever left to the right foot, usually, sometimes it s made like a regular stop, sometimes it s made whit a lever to the left off the keyboard. This is an american product, so it s a stopknob, and that s the name on the label. the stop that makes other keys go down, that aren t ptessed by the fingers, are called ''couplers'' or koppels'', like: bass coupler, treble coupler.

@schillie7 prolongement--That is what the pedalpoint stop is called in French harmoniums and organs. It is also on some theater organs but is more sophisticated, affects all notes and is called sustain or sostenuto

[PianoWorldEnterprise]

@schillie7 prolongement term may be used in French made organs but this is called pedal point and it is released by a third knee control between the knee swells on this organ

[4freespeech]

The name of the stop that "couples" notes of more than one octave is called:

"Diapason". There are other stops used on old organs such as "Tierce", "Vox

Humana" and "Bourdon", meaning "Percussion", "Human Voice" and "Bass Pipe" respectively. Unless you are familiar with pipe organs these terms are never heard in modern days.

Awesome. I just recently acquired a waterloo organ.
