NEW 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:

For sale: Wonderful parlor organ, in excellent condition!

Location: Reading, Massachusetts, USA.

This beautiful organ has been in my home for 15 years, but as we are downsizing I am hoping to find it a wonderful new home.  It deserves one.  
I don’t know the exact age of the piece, or even its manufacturer.  It is stamped with serial number 21084 on the back, however no-one has been able to link the number to a specific manufacturer.  Folks at the Reed Organ Society in the US have suggested this organ is very similar to ones made by the Newman Brothers Organ Company of Chicago, although the serial number is still a mystery since it does not correspond to Newman’s known series.  The model of this organ is apparently “Acme,” which is stencilled above “Organ” on either side of the keyboard.
                                                   

The organ has a top portion consisting of extra shelves and mirrors, but can be played and/or displayed without it. I have included pictures of both configurations.  There are a few very old, nasty scratches on the organ where the top carelessly scraped the lower part (in the organ’s distant past; not by me).  Otherwise the condition is very good, considering the piece’s age; the wood has been well maintained and waxed occasionally by me. 

11 stops, from left to right (facing the organ):  Dulcet, Dolce, Pipe Diapason, French Horn, Bass Coupler, Fortissimo, Treble Coupler, Echo Horn, Pipe Melodia, Viola, and Celeste (some with “4 ft” or “8 ft”).

Some restoration had already taken place when I purchased it; it has new(er) strips for the behind the red velvet panel at the pedals.  The strips look like automobile seatbelt material; not sure if they’re appropriate.  However, when I do play the organ, it wheezes a bit, but it does play!  Just lovely.  Takes a lot of energy to keep it going, but perhaps with some tweaking and further restoration can be fully functional again. 

I am asking $500 or best offer.  Buyer picks up.  Please e-mail Elise

For sale Estey Organ (six octave)

This Estey Organ has the number 797 stamped into the back panel, which I have been told is the “model” number and also I have been told it is the “serial” number. I am not sure which one it is. Also on the “inside” of the back panel the number 134 is crudely written in pencil. The Organ has 43 Ivory keys and 30 Ebony keys, with 11 “stops” above the keys. From left to right they are:     

                                                          1- Bass coupler

It also has the original swivel stool with glass feet. The Organ works well except for the 6th ivory key that doesn’t work. Also there is a small crack on the stand were the music book sits. As for a price, that is negotiable and owner reserves the right to refuse any and all offers. The organ is located in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. area and it would be the buyers’ responsibility for all costs associated with shipping and handling.  Contact: Kevin

For Sale: Apollo Reed Organ

S O L D
The organ is in very good condition, with no sign of worm or excessive wear,  ciphers or sticky notes
- and for someone with the time to give it a good clean, and a rub down to
get rid of the awful varnish, they'd end up a very nice instrument indeed.
Unfortunately its present location in my study does not allow for a good
picture, but the illustrations on the web-site showing similar instruments
should suffice. The serial number is 1089, which should give some indication
as to the date of manufacture.
The first with £450, walks off with a bargain

For Sale: Estey Organ
made in Brattleboro, USA and sold through W. Howlett and Son who were based in Norwich.

The stops it has are: "Bass Coupler", "Bourdon", "Melodia", "Diapason", "Clarionet", and "Treble Coupler".
I purchased it approximately 15 years ago and played it for many years. 
It has spent a number of years as part of an exhibition in Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm museum (Somerset). 
The museum will not retain it indefinitely and I have accepted that I am unlikely ever to have
sufficient room to be able to retain ownership.  There were no faults when the museum
became custodians and I believe it is still in good working order
(buyer would be able to verify this on collection - I am not in a position
to deliver it but would liaise with the museum to arrange for buyer to collect).


Offers invited.

For Sale: MALCOLM ORGAN

A handsome Malcolm Organ built by John G. Murdoch & Co Ltd, London probably about 1900.  In 1982 it was completely restored by Mr J.R. Bell (formerly of R.F. Stevens Ltd. Est 1853) who dismantled it in his workshop, completely overhauled the cavity board, recovered the bellows and feeders, supplied new leather valves, felts and springs, and cleaned, regulated and tuned it.  

It is in excellent playing condition, and the case has only a few small signs of wear. 

The lid can be locked, and there is a small ‘wind-up’ stool.  

The apparent distortions of the keyboard in the photograph are due to decreased pixelation 

when the picture was scaled down – it doesn’t really look like that!    

The fifteen stops, left to right, are:  Sub bass 16', Bass coupler, Principal 4', Piano 4', Diapason 8', Bassoon 16', Forte, Vox Humana, Clarionet 16', Flute 4', Melodia 8', Vox Celesta 8', Dulcet 8', Treble coupler, Hautboy 8'. 

There are also two knee couplers:  left – great, right – swell.
