NEW 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
2- Melodia
3- Viola
4- Dolce
5- Forte
6- Vox
7- Treble Forte
8- Dulciana
9- Diapasón
10- Vox Jubilante
11- Treble 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

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.

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).

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!

right, are: Sub bass 16', Bass coupler,
Principal 4', Piano 4', Diapason 8', Bassoon 16', Forte, Vox Humana, Clarionet

For Sale: The Richard Wagner Organ
Estey Organ Company Brattleboro, VT. USA
100% state & functionality
I found old Richard Wagner Estey Organ in my Grandfather´s (he was organist
all his life) house in Slovakia.
Information regrding this organ:
From i.A. Dr. Gudrun Föttinger
Richard-Wagner-Museum mit Nationalarchiv
und Forschungsstätte der Richard-Wagner-Stiftung
D-95444 Bayreuth
"In der Tat besaß Richard Wagner eine Orgel, die sich in der Halle von
Wahnfried befand. Cosima Wagner spricht in ihren Tagebüchern am 9. Mai 1876
von einer amerikanischen Orgel, die Richard Wagner erhalten hat. Leider ist
das Instrument nicht erhalten geblieben.
"
Richard Wagner had an organ,which was in the Wahnfried hall . Cosima Wagner
speaks in her diary on 9 May 1876 about an American organ,which Richard Wagner
got. Unfortunately, this organ was not abide at the place.
From:
Phil Stimmel
"This organ is what is known as a "Boudoir" style organ. I don't know how
many of this model Estey made, but I'm sure it was quite a few.
Organ builders during this time frequently sent one of their organs to
various famous people in the hopes of getting a recommendation or
testimonial form them. One of the Brattleboro, VT newspapers published the
following in 1876,
"A FINE ESTEY ORGAN WAS SENT TO WAGNER, THE MUSICAL COMPOSER OF BAIREUTH,
PRUSSIA. WAGNER RESPONDED WITH AN APPROPRIATE ENDORSING STATEMENT: \'THE
TONE OF THE ESTEY ORGAN IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND NOBLE AND GIVES ME THE
GREATEST PLEASURE. MY GREAT FRIEND, FRANZ LISZT, IS ALSO CHARMED AND
DELIGHTED."

This instrument was rescued in
a sad and silent
state from an architectural salvage dealer in Wales. It's
had all the nut shells and other mice related debris removed from the
bellows (!) and a lot of work done to make it play again including
re-leathering the bellows. It does now play and is a powerful
instrument - perhaps not intended for a domestic setting, or at least
for quite a grand house. An upmarket instrument with rosewood
veneer, fancy double legs at the front and frilly mouldings all over it
(lots of Alexandres I've seen had much plainer mouldings). It's
an interesting instrument with two unusual stops - the Effet de Basson
which should change the tone of the Basson stop but seems to have
little if any effect and the "Expression a la main" which is a second
touch device working on the bass keys and giving a lower wind pressure
to the bass reeds if the keys are pressed lightly - this does work but
it could do with some adjustment and
it takes practice to play it. The instrument appears to pre-date
the Paris exhibition of 1855 as it does not have the usual replica
medal found on Alexandre instruments after this date. The "Rue
Meslay" address may help someone to date it. Musically it is
interesting and there were rumours that it had an interesting past
(with "The Who" ?) but this can't be proved. However intending
purchasers should be aware that it has had serious woodworm (which has
been treated but absolutely NO guarantees that it won't re-appear) and
there is still a lot to do on the case which lacks some sections of
difficult to replace mouldings. Note also fall board and music
stand are modern replicas. I'm very fond of this instrument but
due to a house move it has to go - it's too big and too loud for my new
home.
All yours for £150. Buyer to collect from West Midlands.
You'll need a van and 2 or 3 very strong friends - even then it will
need some dismantling to lift it but these were built to dismantle
quite easily. Contact Chris.
