FS: Aeolian Player Pipe Organ in British Columbia
By David Evans

For disposal: Aeolian player pipe organ, ten ranks, two manuals,
no. 1226, supplied new to the Marquis of Camden of Bayham Abbey,
Lamberhurst, Kent (England) in 1913. Ex Revelstoke Nickelodeon
Museum, Revelstoke, BC, Canada.

The pictures [at the links below] show Bayham Abbey at the time
the organ was installed.

The organ is currently located in Cowichan Bay, BC, Canada, on
Vancouver Island. It is dismantled after its move from Revelstoke and
the main unit is partly dismantled for restoration. Comes with some
116-note rolls and special red leather pouch skin for restoration.

The bass unit is currently assembled but all the other pipe ranks are
in pipe transport chests ready to be moved. It comes with main electric
blower and subsidiary blower for the bass unit and console, which is
two-manual with drawer stops.

Any offer considered.
