Getting set for the new year of finding joy in restoring reed organs again! I shared this one in the past - and it will soon be time to bring it back to the shop and finish it. In this small sound sample, I'm playing a piece called "Aubade" by Alfred Lebeau. As you can probably hear, the sound and response is very different from the instruments that I usually post here. This one has a mechanism called 'Percussion', which has little hammers like a piano that strike the reed before it sounds with

Originally written in Latin as "Adeste Fideles", this is one of my favourite Christmas carols. Since I am using the pedalboard on this newly restored instrument, I required help in providing wind for it. My dear (late) wife Lori kept a sharp eye on the bellows gage and always providing enough airflow, even through the double pedals and full organ! This organ is the largest reed organ (pump organ) offered in the Doherty Organ Co. catalog - called the Cathedral model. It was made in 1907, in Clint

Widor’s Toccata is most often heard on large pipe organs — but this time it’s played on a reed organ. This is the same organ that I featured in a post earlier today. A reed organ doesn’t respond like pipes when music of this scale and intensity is attempted, yet within its limitations the piece still manages to work surprisingly well. For this recording, the organ is mounted on a temporary dolly for transport, which means the physical energy required to pump and play causes it to rock and sway n

Prelude in Classic Style - Gordon Young - K.A. Anderssons 3MP Reed Organ This heavily decorated 3 manual plus pedal reed organ is made by K.A. Anderssons Orgelfabrik of Sweden, manufacturing the date is around 1895. It is a suction based instrument, it contains almost 1200 reeds, plus a set of bells on the top manual which also is connected to a sustain pedal – which is used in this piece. I’m not used to using a sustain pedal like a piano and organ playing at the same time, it is a rather diffe

This hymn tune appears in over 1,100 different hymnals and is most commonly paired with the text “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken.” It is also famously known as the melody of the German national anthem, “Deutschlandlied.” It is truly one of the most widely recognized tunes in the Western musical tradition. The melody was composed in 1797 by Joseph Haydn for the Austrian imperial hymn “Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser” (“God Save Emperor Francis”). Over time, the tune found its way into many sacr

The lighter side of reed organs 🙂 In English, this tune is best known with the words “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” but the melody itself is much older than the lyrics. It comes from the French song “Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,” which dates from the mid-18th century. Over time, this simple and charming tune has been adapted into countless songs in many languages — including “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” and Mozart’s famous set of variations. The little instrument you see here is known as a “Baby Orga
