The works have been stripped down to the foundation board, reeds cleaned, couplers cleaned up and renovated, all stop mechanisms removed and cleaned, springs replaced.
It plays, see video, but I confess I only patched up the bellows to ensure everything worked. 
It does sound amazing and I just want it to go to a new home where somebody else will become an enthusiast and perhaps attempt the bellows.
Organ has useful carrying handles and wheels/rollers.

For Sale Tabletop Portable Harmonium
I
Found whilst clearing a deceased relative's house -  an Indian type harmonium - designed to be pumped by one hand and played with
 the other, usually I'm told, by a player sitting on the ground.  No stop knobs so probably  just one set of reeds and no couplers or drones.  Note the slightly unusual lever for blowing - not the usual arrangement for these instruments.  Not in great condition, but 30 of the keys still sound clearly.

Buyer will need to collect, or arrange collection, from Kent.

If you're interested please contact Charlotte.

Gone Malcolm Reed Organ

Malcom Reed Organ 1930's by a good maker John Murdoch of London. Dismantled to get it down the stairs. Has foot pedals for the air supply. Has original label on back and bears number 21410

Vendor has been told by experts in Durham,: 
"This is a suction reed organ, producing sound through free reeds rather than through pipes. Malcolm reed organs have a good reputation and I am sure that yours is a good instrument. The serial number suggests quite an early date, but the case looks quite late. 5/30 could be a model number rather than a date; however, the syle would be broadly consistent with 1930s work. There are some details of Malcolm instruments here: https://www.scorpion-engineering.co.uk/FreeReed/organ_book/node14.html"

The organ is located on the Isle of wight. I could put it on a pallet, wrapped, if somebody is able pay the transport ( probably £ 60 ) to the mainland. Otherwise it is free for collection. 

There is a small possibility I could deliver, depending on location ( donation appreciated )

GONE to Good Home Estey Reed Organ

Since downsizing it is time for me to let go of my grandmother’s Estey organ. She was an organist and this instrument was in her house in San Francisco. I’m not sure where she obtained it, but as you can see by the plaque in the third photo, it spent some of its life in Washington DC. 


I have a photo of her playing the organ dated 1943 surrounded by my mother and aunt, and uniformed officers all happily singing. My mother worked at The St. Francis Hotel on Union Square, and it was her practice to invite officers to her mother’s house for a ‘home cooked’ meal which they truly appreciated. 


My grandmother eventually gave the organ to me as I was the only person who could play it. I moved several times with it so it has lived in San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta and now the U.K. in Spalding where I now reside. It has had a life. 


When I took possession of the organ it was painted a cream colour. The years had not been kind to that colour and it just looked dirty. So one entire summer I took on the project to strip off the cream coloured paint and restore the original wood. I decided to leave a bit of the paint on the back to remind me of the original way I first knew it. You will see that in the 5th photo. 


The organ is in working order and produces a nice sound. Cosmetically, it needs a little love and hopefully there is someone reading this who would be interested in doing that. Free to a good home.

  Beautiful instrument in need of restoration. Still sounds but has a leak somewhere or problem with the bellows so not currently playable.

I salvaged this many years ago when an acquaintance was throwing it out. It was to be a retirement project, but I am moving and no longer have the workshop space required.

It has been stored in my house or in a dry garage since I acquired it. It would be a tragedy to dump it but I will have no option. I hope someone looking for a project could take it on.

SOLD Gregorian / Vocalion Reed Organ

This chapel organ was probably built around 1900 for the Orchestrelle Company of London.  Similar models were made and sold in the USA under the name of "Vocalion".    Although this company was probably better-known for producing player-pianos and player-organs, 
this model is a straight reed-organ.   

The organ has been in regular use until recently, but now needs a new home.It appears to be in good working order.  Now fitted with an electric blower though the orignal pedal blowing could be re-instated.

The stops range from 16’ to 2’, with couplers, as follows:  
Octave coupler;  Contra-basse;  2’ Eolian Harp;  8’ Open diapason (lower octaves of keyboard);  
16’ Bourdon bass;  4’ Principal;  4’ Harmonic flute;  16’ Bourdon treble;   
8’ Open diapason (upper octaves of keyboard);  8’ Melodia;  Vox humana;  Eolian forte. 

There is a knee-operated swell that opens/closes louvres on the top of the casing.  There is also a “full organ” lever operated by the left foot that instantly engages all of the stops at once.  To provide for blower entry via the underside, the organ is currently raised on about a 5” plinth.  You would need to provide something similar unless it is on a suspended floor.  Plinth and organist’s pew could be available if desired.

Approximate dimensions (including decorative mouldings and carrying handles):
Length: 74" (190 cms);  Height: 55" (140 cms);  Depth (to front of keyboard): 32" (81 cms)

Free to Good Home Regent Reed Organ

Currently residing in Combe Martin North Devon. 
Has a brass plate with the legend Charles F Hocking, possibly the manufacturer or distributor. 
Ten stops, two knee swells. It playes but I haven't looked inside to check the state of the bellows etc. 
Has been treated for woodworm in the past, but has been left for a bit so wouldn't hurt to re treat.

Please contact Mike
