DeBain Harmonium

 

This splendid Vocalion, s/n 4719, was restored by a pro about ten years ago.

 

Mason & Hamlin Style 800 2-Manual & Pedal; completely overhauled. Self-contained electric winding system, 11 sets reeds, full, gutsy tone. Write for specification and full details. $7500 FOB San Francisco.

 

Beautiful Shoninger "desk organ" in stunning case, original finish. This is the organ shown under restoration in the gallery. Rather "gutsy" tone, action completely rebuilt. Would make a fine addition to any Victorian decor, and is a perfectly practical musical instrument as well. Plus, it can be used as a writing desk! $2500

 

Treat and Linsley, Serial No. 10691, about 1875. 8 & 4, bright tone, small flat-top suitable for apartment. Fine antique. $1500

 

Mason & Hamlin "Metropolitan", Serial No. 1877, 1876(?). 8 & 4, small flat top, suitable for apartment. Mellow tone, fine antique. $1500

 

Orchestrelle Solo-XY Serial Number 7545, 1906(?). 9 Sets, with pizzicato action on "Swell" Oboe. Plays 112-note rolls. Completely re-tubed, but doesn't play (don't know why!) Includes 30 old rolls. The case is badly hacked, but the organ is complete. Played on a blower for 35 years. This is a real "challenge" for an adept restorer, and a steal at $5000 "as is".

 

Fine 2-manual Alexandre Pere & Fils harmonium, s/n 94229. Originally sold in Glasgow! Contact me for specification, $4000 FOB San Francisco.

 

Harmonium by Gilbert Bauer, single set of reeds. Built for school use, and as "basic" as you can get! Fully refurbished, except case which has been cleaned only. $1500 FOB San Francisco.

 

Carpenter organ, Brattleboro Vermont. Elaborate case, (refinished). Has functional "speedometer" that shows position of reservoir and of knee-swell. Totally ovedhauled, noce tone. $2500.00 FOB San Francisco.

 

Dominion (Guelph, Canada) 2 manual reed organ in splendid case. This one sits up and talks! Totally overhauled, waiting to make a lot of fine music in any home. $3000.00 FOB San Francisco.

 

Rare Munroe player with original 46-note McTammmany action. Serial number 48, around 1874-5. With 31 amusing rolls including a test roll. Player operates upper action; keyboard plays 8-4-8-8 lower action. Keyboard can be played with the player (you can play with yourself!). Fully operational and overhauled; case with original finish. $4000.00 FOB San Francisco.

 

Even rarer Mustel Model V with Celesta (ca. 1906) in solid rosewood case. This is not a harmonium for "just anybody": it's for the professional harmonium player who wants the very best and knows how to use it. $25,000.00 FOB San Francisco. A collection of harmonium music goes along with this organ.

 

Here is a very early Mason & Hamlin barrel-front organ, basically in good shape and ready for a relatively easy rebuild. The organ is for sale at $300 as is, or $3000 fully rebuilt. FOB San Francisco. Write or call for details.

 

Here is a fine Shoninger desk organ from about 1876 that has been fully rebuilt. The beautifully decorated case is a handsome one, and the organ has the fine voicing tyoical of Bernard Shoninger's work in those days. $3000 FOB San Francisco. Write or call for details.
