Exposing the Organ

Mainly for those who haven't had the pleasure of pumping my organ, I've taken some pictures. A bit of background, this is a Reed organ rather than a harmonium. Harmoniums use a blow action to make noise - and are generally British/European. Mine is an American reed organs use a suction action, the air is pulled through the reeds to create the sound.

I'm aiming to record a couple of tracks so you can hear the beast, or I might just press onto waxroll :-p

Bloody hell, how much did that little pumper set you back (if I may be so vulgar)?

What a large, fine organ you have there, sir.
