[keystone82]

[fyrffytr1]

Organ reeds.

 

[travelerga]

from harmonicas

 

[keystone82]

sweet are they a type of organ you sit at or a standing one I would call them like a squeeze box?

 

[keystone82]

so they had organs in school not pianos in the 1800's?

 

[recondigger]

harmonium reeds

Dig until your arm falls off

 

[keystone82]

nice. so it would be a small type of piano then?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

Could also be melodian reeds. Smaller and less expensive than a piano.

I say squeeze box reeds..They should have a letter stamped on them.Denotes the tone of that reed.

I actually own a WWi folding reed organ that you sit behind and pump with your feet.http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/74275-liberty-pipetone-folding-organ-military-solved.html

or Harmonium or Melodian?

or Concertina squeezebox?

I was trying to find a picture but couldn't get one that showed the reeds. Looks at accordion reed blocks. Those reeds fit on the reed block.
