Newly restored after an 18 month restoration and rebuild, this extra large W. Bell reed organ is singing to its full potential once again. The reed chests in this instrument are above the keyboards in the upper section of the case, so when the volume shade open, the sounds are directly at the player - and it is loud! It was made in Guelph, Ontario Canada in 1892, the provenance is currently unknown, although it has been housed in at least two museums over the past 40 years or more. Everything about this instrument is big and heavy, including the sound.
I am playing a tune called "March", the composer is anonymous.
