  • This is not an Organ grinder, this is a foot pump organ, fairly common. The keys that are moving without pressing them is due to old age. Organ grinders are like music boxes with a pattern tune, you don't play them just turn a handle etc...

  • who said it was an organ grinder? The keys that are "moving by themselves" are actually an Octave coupler feature of the organ. You can deactivate the coupler with a stop.

  • why are the keys moving without u pressing them

  • bass and treble coupler stop function.

  • Nice. Got to play on on of these for a short time. Every time I hear it, I think of pirates lol. Just reminds me of the pirates drinking and singing parts of some movies.

  • @edawgpizza

    ghosts, bro

  • hay i got a piano you think you can help me to find out what kine it is

  • @edawgpizza cause hes a motherfucking badass

  • Your bass thing trips me out when I watch. Awesome organ man.

  • @PowersofKhan Correct. Octave couplers impress the upper-end of sound for the trebble clef, and the lower-end for the bass clef. They duplicate each note played either and octave higher or lower. It's a really neat mechanical system, I love watching it on mine (which needs some repair...)

  • You might try replacing those leather strips on the bellows (outside) of the bellows that you pump. I replaced mine and it made a world of difference. I did have a couple of mouse holes in the resevior that I patched with some rubber cement and some soft chamois type leather. Works great now. Don't have to pedal so much.

    The leather strips are usually tacked on with small carpet tacks. Don't pull the leather tight or you get nasty sounds.

  • awesome theme song

  • This is steller. (^,-)

    I'm getting a Kimbal in a couple week's... stoked.

  • Nice man :D
