A reed organ (often referred to as a pump organ) is a unique
instrument that used to be found in many homes, churches, schools and many other
places where people gathered whenever music was required. Over the past
100 years, the majority of these organs have not been maintained properly and
have become less appreciated - except by those who know the music and vast array
of tones they can create. I happen to be one of those who enjoy restoring
these old instruments back to their former glory, and playing them.
I have been playing organ since I was 8 years old,
and have
been church organist for over 27 years.
