brilliant.
What a brilliant video, and how well the harmonium and piano blend. I am curious as to how the harmonium was powered as I couldn't clearly see it being pumped. I assume that maybe it must have an electric motor fitted - but I may be wrong!
I wonder as well. I cannot really see him using the pedals - - unless it's got a serious reservoir bellows inside it. I just don't see enough pumping to justify its output...
You are correct - If you watch the legs and feet you will not see any regular movement indication operation of the feeders. There are little blower/vacuum pumps that can be fitted inside these organs giving the choice. To pedal or not.
@@organbuilder272 Most of the treadling movement comes from the ankles. A first-rate harmonium in tip-top condition anyway needs very little treadling to support a single row of reeds and even full organ doesn't need frenetic treadling!
Adding electric blowing to a Mustel robs it of one of its most valuable assets: the 'expression' stop. It would, in any case, be a tasteless modification to a valuable antique - like painting the grandfather clock white.
Also, reed-organs such as this one have relatively large feeders, and when used, as here, with just a few reeds playing, the pedalling is slow, which is why you have not noticed it.
Great!
You two are brilliant! Have you ever considered coming to Canada? :)
Jonathan is pedaling the harmonium with his feet. It would be a tragedy to power such an instrument with an electric motor.
Really!! And why is that? This is a constant vacuum instrument. It has no knowledge of how that vacuum is raised, it merely responds to a differential in atmospheric pressure. Get off your ivory tower. Pumping is what caused the demise of so many of these beautiful little instruments. This is Century 21. Get on with it.
To correct - This is pressurized, with the air exiting through the reeds. The same rules apply. Melodions are vacuum operated
Yes, Kramer. I was building organs before you were born - Likely I do know it all.
If you would feed it with a blower, you couldn't play under expression anymore; that stopknop switches off the reservoir bellows, so you play on the wind of the wedge-bellows ( which you operate directly with your feet) only, so that you can add expression to the sound..
The expression stopknob is in the centre, pulled out means reservoir shut off.
