Comments •, 7 years ago I was born just outside of Brattleboro VT, the home of Esty Organ Co. I have a soft spot for old pump organs. •, 7 years ago toolate2, Thanks for the comment. •, 6 years ago It's just beautiful.
Cod4 Promod 204 Download Games. Amazing, really. What is that little thingy sitting beside it? •, 5 years ago hotkitties Thank you, the little thingy next to the organ is a early gas heater. •, 5 years ago Thank you mastangtony •, 5 years ago Thank you toolate2, mark, and officialfuel •, 5 years ago We have the same organ, in a darker finish. It came with the house.
Does yours play? Ours takes quite a bit of effort, so my guess is that it needs to be rebuilt. •, 5 years ago Akp, Yes it plays and it does take some effort to pump. Sounds great when the bellows are full of air. •, 5 years ago Ours plays as long as you long as you keep pumping, but goes silent when you stop. One of the local piano people here works on organs and he thinks it would be around $1000 to replace bellows etc. And seal everything on the inside, but then would be good for the next 100 years.
•, 5 years ago I had the organ completely worked over in 1976 at the tune of $500.00. It's still going strong 37 years later. We have a friend who is a professional organ player and he loves coming over and playing songs on our pump organ.
•, 4 years ago I just acquired an organ like this today. The only thing missing is the black cover where the Hamilton name is displayed. Is this the same organ or a repro?
Like yours, mine was restored in 1976 in Nashville, TN. It has an electric silent suction unit which was installed at that time. I was wondering how to oil it. •, 4 years ago Beautifully restored.I bet it sounds amazing. •, 1 year ago Want to help a Pump Organ Database?
