You can also find the name of the brand above the keyboard. You should use a flashlight if possible, as the cabinet space could be void of light. A sticker, tag, or stenciled print should be visible immediately. You can find your pump organ’s mark or signature within the cabinet. Here are several ways to identify your antique Pump Organs age and value: Maker’s mark Today the market for the forgotten antique reed Pump organs returns, as there many collectors that place a lot of value in them. It led to the slow dismissal of the pump organ among customers due to the electric-powered versions being the far more convenient alternative. Later on, during World War 2, an electric-powered organ was invented. This feature enables inexperienced users to learn as the keys stay down to track how you play. Also, clever features such as the one-note chord became part of the design. Further down the century, companies pay famous composers like Alain, Karg-Elert, Widor, and others to write songs for their products. It’s also why the pump organs using the pressure systems are typically present in noisy places like a church or a bar.īy the 1900s, manual Pump organs became very popular as almost every home would have one (usually in their sitting rooms).

These facts are why your American-style organs are usually found in old abandoned houses or taken from there. On the other hand, Reed organs using the suction system provide lower sound intensity.

The reed organs that use a pressure system tend to offer a better quality of loudness. Users of both types of reed organs notice the difference in the sound quality of both organs. It’s the type that uses a suction system to create the sounds of the keys instead of a pressure system like the Reed organs from Europe. However, during the late 1800s, America invented its own portable free Reed organ. Such organs were famous in the leading countries of Europe. This mechanism causes Reed to make a distinct sound that is different for all keys. Its mechanism works cleverly, as the Reed pump organ uses a pressure system, which involves passing air via two pedals through the vibrating metal part of the Organ connected to the keys, known as the Reed. This particular Organ offers better convenience than the pipe organ ever did in terms of portability, maneuverability with sound’s baseline, and easy maintenance.

The Reed pump organ or harmonium or melodeon was invented on August 9, 1940, by a French inventor known as Alexandre Debian.
