No tulips? Am I the only one here with a 7th-grade sense of humor?

No, no tulips.
These organs are primarily intended to be manipulated with the hands. And feet.
Mouth organs have yet to be covered.

now that you mention it...
Have you ever heard of a Rolmonica?
It's a harmonica that plays songs from a paper roll, made between 1928 and 1931 or so.
I made this video about 6 years ago.
An interesting note - I located a company that reproduces the rolls of modern materials, and they were able to copy/transcribe a number of rolls from my collection which were previously un-available as reproductions. In this small way, I have been in part responsible for the continued availablity of these rare and unusual pieces of musical history.

I've never seen such a thing. Not the catchiest brand name, but a very cool product. Thanks for the video!

Sorry it took so long. Here's two of my organs. First a Mason & Hamlin "Liszt" organ, and second an Estey style T. Now if only I practiced.

Estey style T from about 1909.
HI, I have an 18 rank pipe organ here at home. The pipework is from a 1906 Estey, 8'oboe from a Hinners 1924, 8'trumpet,1979 Moller and a 16'fagatto- 1967 Casavant. The keydesk is a Hinners from 1924. If I could figure out now to make the pictures that I have fit into the space avaliable I would put them in but I don't exactly know what to do to put them in jpeg format. Gary

Bassoons
I don't know about the bassoon, but its close relative, the oboe, is apparently always in demand for a talented classical player. Apparently orchestras can always use a good oboist, and it's required for tuning up (something about its pitch being easiest to hear).
I love classic oboe music ... especially the baroque stuff ... also sax for jazz... if I were to take up a new instrument (used to play guitar and violin) it would be one of those.

With my recent post about blower problems, I included a couple of pictures of my organ a couple of week ago,(just scroll up a few pictures and there we are) so have another look if all of you would like. Happy playing. Gary
