Possibly Gasparini Organ at Tilden Park
By Hans van Oost

I don't know the Tilden Park Organ.  Smaller Gasparini organs (52-key
size) often had no pipes under the bottom and even no flue bass at all!
The bass was entirely played by a set of lingual "bombardons", with a
very pleasing military band effect.  If you could send me a picture I
could tell more.
