Reluctantly getting rid of this beautiful old harmonium. We've had it for around twenty years, but I don't play it much anymore, so it's better to go to someone who will appreciate it more.
It's unusual for a pedal organ to have so many stops – twenty-two! Two of them are octave 'couplers', enabling doubling of an octave higher or lower. There are knee 'pedals' which make it louder by adding more stops (and more octaves), and there is a sliding hatch which hides the foot-pedals.
My favourite stop is the Sub Bass!!
Made by Sherlock-Manning in London, Canada. I don't know anything of the history of this particular organ, but the company operated from 1902 until the late-1950s, although they mostly made pianos, with harmoniums made in the earlier part of the company's existence. My guess is that it's around a hundred years old.
The Piano Shop in Plimmerton did a cosmetic restoration when we first obtained it, including comprehensive treatment for borer. There has been no evidence of the borer returning.
Most of the notes work on most of the stops, but a couple of the stops don't work, and one is quite out of tune (which actually sounds amazing!) There is a little bit of chipping to the edges of the candle stands, and the right-hand pedal is a little loose.
Despite its size, it's not as heavy as it looks, and can be moved with two people (I've moved it on my own).
It's 1300mm wide, 740mm deep and 1185mm high.
Pickup is from Tawa.
