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.

Lee Silent Reed Organ Suction Units

Our Lee Units completely eliminate tiresome foot pumping while at the same time improving the performance of almost any reed organ. These compact units are easily installed and need not alter the organ’s appearance. Sizes are available to efficiently power the small parlor organs and melodeons as well as the larger church types (Estey) with sub bass, tremolo and couplers.

They have sturdy reliable motors with specially designed aluminum fan assemblies made for these units. They are precision balanced and shock-mounted in insulated enclosures for vibration-free operation. Flanges, flexible duct, hardware and under-keyboard switch (wired into the unit) are all supplied, together with detailed instructions for installation. Everything you need is included.

If you want to be able to retain the option to pump the organ with your feet, then you need to also order the check valve. (Otherwise you will need to remove the bellows when you install the pump.)

International shipments: We no longer ship these pumps to
Europe because the 60 cycle motor is not compatable to
European power. The motor runs too hot & burns out.


A1127 Delron Flanges
Our flanges are available in four sizes 4”, 3”, 2 ½” for use with flexible duct and 1 ¼” for vacuum hose. All are supplied with gaskets. A reasonably-priced alternative to aluminum flanges In stock for same day shipment. SEND MAIL for prices

SHIPPING:
Expect high shipping costs overseas on ARO-16 units.

USA-- Up to $ 50 UPS Ground

We will NOT refund your customs cost on any pump
you have to return for any reason, even if it is defective.
Defective products must be returned at your expense,
and we will repair them and return them at our expense.
Damaged products will not be repaired or refunded.
Do not order please if you are not sure of these conditions.

Because of the possibility of abuse to these units,
they are warranteed ONLY to function properly on delivery.
