Description
Automatic dance organ, 84 keys, reconstructed from original parts of a Mortier organ. Set within a polychrome carved case.
The central case features some of Mortier’s traditional stops: the 22 jazz flutes (characterised by their chimneys and modulation valves) in the counter-voice; the 23 doubled drones in the
main voice; and the accompaniments.
Two motors drive this organ; one to operate the blower via a crankshaft and a resized flywheel; the other to drive the reading of the perforated tape.
Condition
Complete restoration required. Includes some
old
punch cards.
Dimensions: Height with stops in place 3m – Width 3.40m – Depth 0.90m
