pipe organ bass chest, 10 note compass. Condition is Used. 

 

 

This is a thoroughly well-made item, but I have no need of it.  Not many people out there will have a use for it (!), but to someone it may be a real problem-solver.  Made c.1950 by J.W.Walker and Sons, it originally took the bottom 10 notes of a Large Open Diapason 8′.  In fact, any rank could be fitted (including a Bourdon or Trombone) provided that the largest pipe is not more than 8″ in diameter.  the action is Roosevelt-style, so it would work on any pressure without difficulty. Both internal leatherwork and the external magnets are in good working order.

 

 

The chest is very robust and the external magnets are well-protected with a proper cover.  It will clean up well, I have merely brushed it down prior to taking my photos.

 

 

Dimensions:  60″ long    8″ back to front, 12.75″ tall (including the magnet box), though it is clear that the chest ends originally sat on a building frame.  As can be seen, the air intake is at the bottom (bass end).

 

 

 

I would prefer collection in person, but if this is impossible for you, I would be happy to package it up and send it by courier provided that the courier’s charge would be covered by the purchaser.  My guess: (at most) an extra 30.
