Thank you! This was a HUGE help. We just picked up an old pump organ tonight. We were having trouble understanding the various knobs and the knee paddles. This video clarified a lot.
This is amazing! I'm writing a piece where I'm telling about my great grandfather who played this instrument back in the early 70's, and how it did a deep impact on me. Now that you've shown and telled how this instrument really works, I know why. When you know how to use it (like you and my great grandfather), it's like listening to a church pipe organ, so dynamic and powerful. Thank you!
Fascinating! I was a piano major in college. Minored in organ a couple of semesters but didn’t care for it. When you explain it, I definitely see the appeal. Thanks for opening my eyes.
I have a 1916 one that is a bit moody, if you open it up it wants a lot more air so playing more notes requires more pumping which can be very confusing for the first few runs.
I'm not a repair technician, but I have watched my guy open up the organs and work inside. My recollection is that the pedals are working with a set of straps - and I suspect a bit of maintenance will stop the squeaking. In general, these older organs won't ever be totally silent - but they are fun - and that's why I love playing them.

how is it going having one? considering doing the same and maintaining it myself as a hobby musician.

My brother used to play one of these.
He went on to play huge church pipe organs.
Thanks for the memories...

I learned how to play on one of these and 60 years later still have one and love it!
Thank you for sharing. Love to hear you play. 💜
Amazing sound from that little instrument!
Wow, great video really helped me understand how one of these works
Thank you!
Sounds really good

We used a reed organ b the church went to a long time ago
I wonder how that would sound miked up and run through a Marshall tube amp ala Jon Lord.
So cool! Really beautiful sound! Could you tell me what make of pump organ this is? I'm in the market for one. Thanks!
It's a Moline - but there are so many brands. Just finding one that's been maintained or would be easy to repair is key. Have fun shopping.
Hello sir! Do you know anyone to work on the internals reeds and stops? Thx so much!
I have a guy near me that futzes with the reed pump organs. In Huerfano County Colorado. I only know to have you locate him on Facebook - David Enke
Sounds like church when I was little!
Is it hard to pump in a different “time “ than the tempo of the music?
not even - not thought about it at all
I have a 1916 one that is a bit moody, if you open it up it wants a lot more air so playing more notes requires more pumping which can be very confusing for the first few runs.
I like pump organs
We were looking at one to get and the peddles squeaked. Is there a way to fix that?

@@rickytims Thanks. They do look fun!
What is the last song called?
Giuseppe - it was improvised - so nothing with a name.
