Neat video. I am presently restoring a Clough and Warren reed Organ (1979) with 292 reeds and has the Qualifying Tubes. Massive job, but well worth the effort. 16', 8' 4' and with coupler 2.' Also Sub Base and a few extras.

Now THAT is a phenomenal instrument! The poor bellows boy @ 9:00 would have to be awfully short though...

Great video, thanks for posting it.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial of this organ. I happen to have the same maker of organ with 17 stops and mostly the same features your organ has. We are both lucky as usually the key slip of these lovely old organs is usually broken or replaced with plain wood. I also have the qualifying tubes pretty neat. You can check out my 2 tunes on my Bell organ here too. under charliecup. I love the beautiful tone of pump organs.

I have an antique church organ from the 1880s I got for 50£ or 100$ it works great,and is very fancy it's called a waltzer pump organ,anyways great video.

I have a Bell reed organ. It is a "piano cased" organ (looks like an upright piano), but it has regular pedals (some piano cased organs have little pedals like pianos, that are hard to pump). My organ has the same "mouse proof pedals," and some of the same features. I have restored mine and it plays well. This looks like a church or school model, they were made better, and the backs were finished.  You should register it with the Reed Organ Society on-line.
