NEW For Sale: D W Karn Reed Organ


This is a vintage pedal bellows organ / harmonium built by the Canadian company DW Karn.  Saw one on another site that looked exactly  the same except this one doesn't have the carved 'balcony' on the lid.  That one was dated 1896.

 
The case looks like oak and is beautifully carved along the front of the keyboard, on the music stand and above the pedals but isn't at all fussy.  This is a lovely piece of furniture as well as an instrument.

Stops from Left to Right:																			
Bass Coupler
Diapason 8ft
Viola 4ft
Piano 8ft
Diapason Forte																					
Vox Jubilante
Viola Forte
Dolce 8ft
Vox Angelica 8ft
Pricipal 8ft
Treble Coupler

It does play,  although a few of the stops do not seem to have any effect.  Definitely worth getting it serviced if you can play as it has a lovely tone on the ones that do!

 
114cm long / 58cm deep / 100cm high.

No on Lid: C&S 22154 - Not sure if this is a serial number.
More pictures available on request to  site administrator

It is in Plymouth Devon UK.

GONE    Farfisa Golden Voice III Reed Organ

An interesting instrument, looking very like a domestic electronic organ but in fact four sets of reeds and an electric blower.
The instrument needs some work, the motor was noisy last time I tried it some years ago, and some reeds have come adrift. 
The case has some knocks and needs a rear panel.  
The brown marks on the keys are just pieces of masking tape which the previous owner wrote the notes on. 

The stops are:																		

Solo     Horn
             Diapason
             Oboe
             Piccolo

Preset     Flute d'amore
                Horn diapason
                Oboe piccolo
                Horn celeste
                Vox celeste
                Chapel organ
                Choral voice
                Full orchestra
 
This interesting instrument is for collection only from North London.
 Dimensions: length 40", height 37" and depth 17 1/2".

Free to Good Home:   Reed Organ

The manufacturer appears to be John W Reed of Hanover Street, London.							
 
Below from left to right it says Napoleon III Empereur, Handel Works, Islington, Empire Frances			
 
It stands at 1m 16cm (approx) tall, 1m 13cm wide 												
(the handles will add an extra 7cm on each side so total of 1m 27cm) 
& the base is the deepest part measuring at 55cm.												
 
The back boards are currently not attached but we do have them. 
We think it originally had a decorative top part to it but we never had that...
 
Regarding the bellows, I’m certain one was broken when we got it, the other I’m sure will be in pretty poor condition now... Many of the stops also do not work. We rescued it a long time ago (over 20yrs ago) & we would very much prefer it went to a good home rather to be used as fire wood!

We are offering this as free to anyone who is willing to come along & pick it up (we are on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent).

For Sale:  Smith American  Reed Organ

"This was found in an abandoned Cuttlery workshop that has been in my family for generations. I believe it was shipped over by a great Grandmother and I'm sure I've seen a date of 1873 on it somewhere. It works fine although some of the different functions don't work and the metal work is rusty. I replaced the straps to power the bellows and the bellows looked to have never been used. "

Stop knobs read:
Principal Dolce
Diapason Forte																		
Bass coupler
Principal
Diapason
Vox humana
Dulciana
Ralophon
Treble coupler
Melodia
Principal Forte
 
 It's in need of some TLC. It plays fine though.
I'm looking for around £100 but i'm open to offers.

For sale: 2 Manual and Pedal RUSHWORTH & DREAPER APOLLO ORGAN 

 Serial Number 1141

The organ is sited on the West gallery in the Catholic Church of Our Lady, Help of Christians, Tarleton, Lancashire.

 After being silent for many years the B.O.B. blower unit was reconnected two years ago and the instrument has been used regularly again since then.

 The action, however, is in need of repair / refurbishment and it has been decided to replace the reed organ with a new digital instrument.

 Currently there are 2 notes off on the swell and a cipher on the great.

 To remove the organ it would either need substantially dismantling to carry down the stairs, or lifting over the edge of the gallery and lowering 12' to the floor of the nave.

Buyer to collect / remove.

The instrument comprises 10 sets of reeds, distributed as follows:
