88 Key Reed Organ
By Martin Anderson

Hi,  Have just discovered and 88 key reed organ from the Crown Piano
and Organ Co.  It also has the name of George P. Bent on it.  It looks
like a piano with three pedals.  The outer two "winged" pedals are used
to pump the organ and the center pedal is used to lock the octave
coupler in the on position.  The whole of the top of the organ behind
the music rack is a storage area for music.  The instrument is not
listed in Bower's and any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Martin Anderson
