Restoring a Reed Organ
By Steve King

I have a Smith American Organ Company single manual chapel organ which
operates via two pedals pumping a bellows arrangement.  The instrument
is in poor condition and I would like to have a go at restoring or
repairing it.

I have some basic piano tech skills but am unfamiliar with the workings
of reed organs.  Can anyone supply, or point me towards some helpful
info, please?  Please reply directly to me, as well as the group.
