This is an overview of the general operation of a reed pump organ. Ricky has been playing a weekly piece each Sunday and posting on Facebook (follow him at rickytims). The reed pump organ is not as grand as a proper pipe organ, but it can produce amazing sounds and has some features that are different from a pipe organ.

Fascinating! I was a piano major in college. Minored in organ a couple of semesters but didn’t care for it. When you explain it, I definitely see the appeal. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Thank you! This was a HUGE help. We just picked up an old pump organ tonight. We were having trouble understanding the various knobs and the knee paddles. This video clarified a lot.

This is amazing! I'm writing a piece where I'm telling about my great grandfather who played this instrument back in the early 70's, and how it did a deep impact on me. Now that you've shown and telled how this instrument really works, I know why. When you know how to use it (like you and my great grandfather), it's like listening to a church pipe organ, so dynamic and powerful. Thank you!

My brother used to play one of these. He went on to play huge church pipe organs. Thanks for the memories...

So cool! Really beautiful sound! Could you tell me what make of pump organ this is? I'm in the market for one. Thanks!

It's a Moline - but there are so many brands. Just finding one that's been maintained or would be easy to repair is key. Have fun shopping.

Is it hard to pump in a different “time “ than the tempo of the music?

@rickytims 4 года назад

not even - not thought about it at all

@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 2 года назад

I have a 1916 one that is a bit moody, if you open it up it wants a lot more air so playing more notes requires more pumping which can be very confusing for the first few runs.

I have a guy near me that futzes with the reed pump organs. In Huerfano County Colorado. I only know to have you locate him on Facebook - David Enke

lovely

@bell2867 3 года назад

We were looking at one to get and the peddles squeaked. Is there a way to fix that?

@rickytims 3 года назад

I'm not a repair technician, but I have watched my guy open up the organs and work inside. My recollection is that the pedals are working with a set of straps - and I suspect a bit of maintenance will stop the squeaking. In general, these older organs won't ever be totally silent - but they are fun - and that's why I love playing them.

@@rickytims Thanks. They do look fun!
