Reed Organ Repair: My first ever restoration was a Berlin reed organ, and there were some things that I did back then that I would not do today. One of these things was the materials that I used for the Sub Bass... yes, it worked, but it was noisy and not 100% reliable. This video is an overview of changing the pallets for a Sub Bass from this 1897 Berlin reed organ. | Rodney Jantzi - Reed Organs

Reed organs can have a "not so serious" side, and can be tons of fun. This piece was written by John W. Bratton in 1907, it was known as Opus 103, or the "Teddy Bear Two-Step". Many years later, in 1932, Jimmy Kennedy wrote the words to it as the famous "The Teddy Bears' Picnic". Played on a Berlin Reed Organ, made in Berlin (now Kitchener) Ontario, Canada in 1897. | Rodney Jantzi - Reed Organs

This little instrument is one of the oldest American instruments in my collection - I posted a picture of it earlier today. It was made by C. H. Austin in Concord, New Hampshire, around 1844–1845. This early melodeon predates the familiar foot-pumped reed organs that would become so popular from the 1850s through the early 1900s. In some ways, it is more like an unrefined accordion. Rather than using foot treadles, it operates on pressure wind supplied by rocking the instrument with the arms. Be

Widor’s Toccata is most often heard on large pipe organs — but this time it’s played on a reed organ. This is the same organ that I featured in a post earlier today. A reed organ doesn’t respond like pipes when music of this scale and intensity is attempted, yet within its limitations the piece still manages to work surprisingly well. For this recording, the organ is mounted on a temporary dolly for transport, which means the physical energy required to pump and play causes it to rock and sway n

Here is a technical look at a 3 manual plus pedal reed organ is made by K.A. Anderssons Orgelfabrik of Sweden, with a manufacturing date around 1895. It is a suction based instrument, it contains almost 1200 reeds, plus a set of bells on the top manual which also is connected to a sustain pedal. This video is a small demonstration of the bell action - which is basically identical to a piano action except that the hammers hit bells. The bells are saucer bells, each one has its own wooden resonanc
