This is a tiny portable reed organ possibly mid to late 19th c . It is though to be made in England and has a pencil marking inside “Beeston Organ Work . This would relate to JW Sawyer of Leeds who made mostly very large high quality reed organs to order. This could well have been one of his .

It has nice oak casework and is unusual as it has two full sets of reeds; There is an 8ft set enclosed in a swell which is always on & a divided four foot set operated by the two drawstops Viola in the bass & what I think would have been called Flute in the treble. But the stop lable was missing when the instrument came into my ownership the only lable I could find to replace it which fitted is marked “Octave Coupler ” It is in excellent working order bellows very good and its all in tune. 2 foot 7 inches wide : 1 foot 3 inches deep : 2 foot 9inches high. Very light to carry and has two handles at each end.

Please note this is a pick up only item & please note the location of it. It will easily fit into most cars & couriers such as Shiply do work up in my area.

This is free to anyone who can collect it
