NEW For Sale: Mason & Hamlin Reed Organ

Location: Connecticut, USA
Beautiful reed organ, worthy of both
play and display, with a cabinet of exquisite black walnut, adorned with
gold leafing and red lining, manufactured in the late eighteen hundreds
by Mason & Hamlin- a well respected piano company ranked among the
Bosendorfers preferred by Brahms, Liszt and Bartok.  Equipped with
pressure bellows, as constitute harmoniums, to vary the output of volume
and dynamic levels.  Thirteen stops, including the Vox Humana, afford a
sweet and nuanced range of timbres.  Formerly the private property of a
cello teacher with ties to Pablo Casals and Stradivarius violins, it
graces any home with quiet charm and usefulness.  Viewing in the month
of May, by appointment.   Note: Dedicated amateurs with few funds are
invited to offer a manageably low price.

NEW For Sale: Packard Reed Organ

The organ came with a brushed aluminum plate with a description that states the following:
"This Packard Reed Organ has been housed in the Zebedee Hodges cobblestone house,
located just to the north of the North Ontario Methodist Brick Church from the 1950's to 1992.
It was kept in the north room of the house where the first North Ontario Methodist Church members
gathered to worship before the brick church was built in the mid 1800's. It is not known
when the church purchased the organ but it was in use in the church in the 1930's and 1940's
until an electronic organ was purchased in the 1950's. The old organ had to be pumped by
the organist's feet to provide air to vibrate the reeds inside to produce the sound.
At a later date, a blower system was added making the organists job much easier.
This organ has been given to the church in memory of Lee and Gwen Peterson,
long time members and participants of the church, by their children,
son Jean Peterson and daughters Mary Gwen Peterson Todd and Susan Peterson in 1992."
The organ is now located at my home in Webster, NY 14580.
There is an internal stamp that can be viewed when removing a panel on the back of the organ
that states the following. "Patented July 21, 1883 Worchester, Mass Hendrick voxhumana G.W. Ingalls & Co."
I was told that this particular organ was 1 of 3 ever made, that one was in a museaum in San Fransisco, CA
and the other belonging to Queen Elizebeth. I am however not certain that this information is accurate.
I would say that this organ is in fair condition and may need to be restored.
I am open to reasonable offers. Pick up only.
Pictures and additional information upon request.
I can be reached by e-mail and I will respond right away.

Free to Good Home: Mason & Hamlin Reed Organ

This organ was given to me over 20 years ago and I have had no time for it so now it' time to pass it on to someone else.
This came from a church in Hartford, CT. The picture shows the organ fully assembled and functional.
All keys/action and stops work well. It comes with an organblo blower.
Both blower and organ are very large and heavy. The natural oak around the keys and stops is perfect.
The cabinet had to be literally ripped off the organ to remove it from the previous owners house
and the organ had to be partially dissassembled. But, I have all the parts along with diagrams
of how it was dissassembled and I can send further picutres of it's present state.
The bellows are pretty torn up. It is stored next to my furnace so it is nice and dry.
As far as I can tell this is a two manual Liszt organ c.1895 w/19 stops, twelve and three fifts sets of reeds and full pedals.

Please respond to my email address for further information.

Present location is Sandy Hook CT. USA. Thanks.

SOLD 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.

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.
