Antique Mason & Hamlin wooden Harmonium/pump organ from Methven, Simpson & Co. (formerly John Purdie) in Edinburgh, music sellers to the Queen. Patented design 1878. Condition is used but in good working order. Repairs to bellows and valves. Some watermarking on top – I used this as a plant stand for some years. Fair wear and tear overall for its age. Polishes up well with boiled linseed oil. Please examine pictures. I am happy to answer queries.

Of sentimental significance to me and a reluctant sale but this handsome instrument deserves a grander setting than is afforded in my small home. It will beautifully adorn any wall in a public room which benefits from high ceilings. Great fun at family gatherings.
This is a large heavy item and requires at least two strong people to move it. There is a wooden handle on each side and four linear castors underneath to aid transit.
Buyer will have to collect with large car or small van. Dimensions can be supplied on request.”Methven Simpson were at No 83. They sold pianos, sheet music and radios, and were well frequented by music lovers. They were next door to The New Club (at No 85) where my mother did the odd function as a waitress, being sent there by Mackies” (Bob Sinclair, Queensland, Australia: December 2009)
