A reed organ is old and not very clear in tone. But, it has the sound of the days of Little House on the Prairie. The old clap board white churches of America of 150 years ago have reed organs.
But,
the reed organs of the old parlors had an impressive gallary standing up nearly
to the ceiling. There, the crystal dishes from Ireland were on display. The mirror
reflected the gas lights around
the room.
The sound of a well restored reed organ is one of peace and warmth.

VACUUM PUMPS
Reed Organ Vacuum Pump--
Off / on switch also has volume control
knob which electrically
regulates motor
box. Installation is very simple.
This pump is aimed at the Reed Organ in that volume is the issue more than
inches of vacuum. Do not use a player pump
on a Reed Organ for best results.
A two
inch hole is bored in the top of the chest board to the right of the
"paddle wheel" termolo (if you have one.
The flange is screwed down with
connecting
check valve and suction unit. Can be installed in a short time for
someone with basic mechanical skills. The only dismantling
is to take off the
back cover of the organ.
A one way valve is included so that the organ can
still be played with the foot pumping pedals.
CAUTION: Two issues have come up recently.
1. This product is a utility item. It is function
based, not pretty to look at.
If you need to have your pump to look like it would fit in
the dash
of a Ferrari, please do not
order this pump from us.
2. Though it is
designed to be low noise, it DOES make some noise. This is
caused by the high volume of
air being drawn off the organ. Pump organs
have very high air flow due to all the reeds
that are open at once. This is
also why a player piano pump is not safe to use on a pump
organ. A player
piano pump has much higher vacuum and low flow, so player pumps are
often a bit quieter.
If you use a player pump on a reed organ it will destroy
the treble reeds by over driving
them. You will have the best results by
locating this pump at a distance from the organ
and using a section of
plastic pipe to connect it to the organ. Control wires will also
have to be
extended if you do this. Several of our customers drilled a hole in the floor
and located the pump in the
basement. I have done this myself with good
results.
If this all frightens you, please do NOT buy this pump. There is
the usual 20%
restocking fee if you return
the pump, and possibly NO refund if we cannot
resell the pump in "as new" condition.
Caveat Emptor !!
Having said
this, we have had almost no returns on this pump. Innovative and
thoughtful customers find a way to use it and are delighted.
We have had many
kudos on this pump.

The American Reed Organ and Harmonium
Robert F. Gellerman
When
The American Reed Organ was published in 1973,
the instrument was an almost
forgotten artifact of the
nineteenth century. While many reed organs had survived,
most had been stored away and allowed to deteriorate and
gather dust.
The book helped revive interest in these
instruments and led to the formation
of The Reed Organ
Society which provided focus for news and research on the
subject. As interest continued to grow, a number of other
books appeared,
but The American Reed Organ remained
the standard work on the subject for
many years. Book The
American Reed Organ and the Harmonium is more than just
a new edition of its predecessor. It has been completely
rewritten and
expanded to reflect continuing research on
the subject. The extensive history
traces the free reed back
from its origins in China about 2000 BC through
its development and perfection as a popular
instrument for homes, churches,
and music halls, until it reached its peak in the 1890s.
The amazing photographs
chosen to illustrate the text will show how important a part
of everyday life
these organs had become. There are photos of organs being
transported across
the prairies in wagons and pictures of the "chaplain's organs" that
went to
both World Wars with our servicemen. There is one historical photo from the
official
US Navy files which shows a chaplain's organ being used in a religious service
on the bombed-out hangar deck of the USS Franklin in 1945. A large sampling
of the
advertising and catalog offerings by the major organ manufacturers
of the time, as
well as post cards, cartoons, and holiday greetings featuring
reed organs will add to
your appreciation of these fine instruments.
Covers
the history, construction, manufacturing, tuning, restoration, and music of
these
classic American and European parlor instruments. -- Paperback
