Please, help find a home for this pump organ!  It is free if you will haul it.

It is a 1908 Farrand Company Detroit, Michigan pump organ. The upper part comes off. So it is in 2 pieces.  Not unlike moving an upright piano and a bookcase.

I was told it was used originally in a church. The hymnal from 1940 that was tucked inside it is stamped Christ Church 1305 E 47th Seattle 5, Wash.  

It was last refurbished early '90s.  Still plays but needs work to reach full potential. 

It has a squeaky  pedal which  caused me to seek tutorials online.  There are great ones.  This would be a satisfying and doable project for someone handier and maybe younger than me, even non- musician DIYers.  As for the squeaky pedal, do not use oil of any kind! It would ruin it. The instrument is all wood, fabric and leather inside.  Carbon powder or silica (tutorial said) for the sqeak. 

Currently located in North Seattle.

For sale: Bösendorfer 185VC Grand Piano 6’1"

This Bösendorfer was purchased last year from Classic Pianos in Bellevue. It is in perfect condition and unfortunately we no longer have a need for it. It has been maintained by Steve Brady. It comes with one free certificate for a free tuning. We tried dozens of pianos at Steinway Seattle, Steinway NYC, and this piano had a more beautiful sound than anything else we tried. It is a one of a kind sound: rich, full, warm, with a stunningly clear choir. Comes with Bösendorfer piano bench, felt key runner, key, polish pad, and box with information. Beautiful satin matte finish. Located in North Seattle. Contact: 206-909-2911 or moltogelato@gmail.com
