This solid walnut pump organ was shipped from Michigan in the 1880s. Imagine the crate on the steam engine.
A cabinet maker gutted the music making innards and installed a solid walnut desk top. The original cover still fits over the desk.
The brass foot pedals (sold separately) were removed and a carved panel moved down to complete the new aesthetic.
The finish is original except for the new desktop. All have a semi gloss varnish finish. There is just one flaw on the top where someone set a plant but it is not a serious blemish, just a faded circle. A few bits of the fragile carving are also missing. Scratches and chips are almost nonexistent.
The back is also in very good condition. Desk top is standard height of about 27".
The price was determined by the cost of transportation to and from the church--workshop--storage plus the cost of the labor and materials.
