  • Thank you. New to the world of reed organs, but partial to Mason & Hamlin, that is a wonderful instrument. Hopefully, there is a M & H in my future. And as a basic tutorial, very well done. I learned alot.

  • Fabulous Reed Organ! Thank you for making this video.

  • Thank you for all you've done. I first discovered the piano roll CDs in middle school and played them countless times.  Your reed organ exhibitions are a gift to everyone who encounters an un-restored reed organ. Your contributions help show the world how these instruments were built to perform.

  • I scored myself a Waterloo for a couple of dollars. (NZD) I'm pleased with it's beat up appearance but it's tone could be a bit better and it's 10 stops don't really span out enough.

  • Excellent information on the pump organ. These are wonderful old instruments and they have such lovely sound. I have a lovely old Bell that has a beautiful sound and has 17 stops. I will now know how to use the stops. Thanks so very much. All the best to you.

  • Thanks for the info. I do know that the"Romantic" organ was expanded by Liszt but did not know of his input with these "smaller" organs.

  • Franz Liszt authorized Mason & Hamlin to make special model organs that had features not found in other organs. I believe they started making them in the 1860's and continued until WW 1.

  • If this was made in 1887, Liszt was already dead. Why call it a Liszt organ? Did he have an earlier model? Why not play Liszt's music on a Liszt organ? I didn't hear anything in part 1 or 2. A snipet of the Magnificat from the Dante Symphony would have been nice.
