- Description
- Pump organ, also known as a reed organ made by the Thomas Organ and Piano Company of Woodstock, Ontario.
- The organ is similar in style to an upright piano. It is a ten (10) stop organ with 73 keys. The stops would have been labeled but only three stops retained the labels: Forte, Echo, and Melodia.
- The top front panel has three ornamental panels with cut out filigree, backed with red fabric. The same style of cut out and fabric appears below the keyboard. There is a key cover that pulls out from the top panel and the two move in conjunction with each other.
- The organ includes two knee levers below the keyboard and two foot pedals. The foot pedals are stamped "Thomas Organ Co" at the bottom. The pedals appear to have been recovered with a rubber material with vertical grooves, potentially a floor mat.
- There are carved details in various locations on the organ, and the wood is stained a dark brown.
- The back panel of the organ is a different wood and colour than the rest. It could be a replacement panel. The panel is easily removed.
- Stamped in ink inside the organ is a model number "A 20404". Stamped into the wood on the back left side is "11/20"
