The Apollo Organ - Rushworth and Dreaper 💔

Heart breaking yet nothing impossible yet!
Isaiah 54:7-8 KJV 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Never giving up hope!

Clearly a wreck right now, but in the right hands this is probably fully restorable. The "Apollo" range of R & D reed organs was highly regarded in its day.

Thats interesting to know.

Could still be restored although it is in very poor condition. These were possibly some of the best reed organs available. Please try to save it if you can . But it is going to be quite expensive.

[@pontiacrye7318]

Hopefully someone can purchase this beauty and restore it to working order again, it doesnt deserve to rot. Going to share this around to some of my resto friends, see if there can be a bite somewhere down the line.

[@jollyzekkariya]

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. We hope for the best!

[@pontiacrye7318]

@@jollyzekkariya Hopefully there will be people willing to volunteer to help, Been sharing it around and advising people to ask too, and it's looking good, one of my friends has a friend with a organ museum and he restores them for a living, so going to see if hes on board or if he has any extra leads.

Wow am really amazed by the fact that st mark's had an actual organ..woww,what a glory

[@jollyzekkariya]

Imagine!

[@elishakyambadde8183]

@@jollyzekkariya I believe in the near future this glory will be restored,

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

This is a dreadful condemnation of the people who allowed the organ to get into this condition. Mindless neglect. I have worked on this type of organ, and many others, and it looks as if this one has gone too far to be rescued.

[@jollyzekkariya]

Very sad indeed.

[@TheOrgan1st]

This organ is still very much restorable

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

To @@TheOrgan1st How many reed-organs have you restored?

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

You would be better off finding a small pipe-organ which is being given away.
