Antique FABER Folding Reed Organ - Preacher Suitcase
This is an old suitcase, preacher, folding organ operated by reeds.
Manufactured as early as 1909. And the Faber model is a rare one because it had limited production and Fabers saw heavy use in harsh conditions
The side flaps fold out, and you can sit with your knees under the bellows. BUT the pedals and connecting rods are missing. The bellows open with the bottom removed, and you can pump the bellows wit...h your legs and sound will be produced! It does sound like an old pump organ. However, there are tears in the bellows material.
Other Faber organs online are shown with metal legs on the sides. This one has wooden flaps that (presumably) serve as legs.
Keys are in good condition, cabinet is mostly solid.
There is a lot of wear and many scratches on the cabinet.
Both cabinet and organ need total restoration.
However, as is, it would make a good museum piece.
It measures 29" x 8" x 12" and weighs 30 pounds.
This CAN ship, but local/regional pickup/delivery would be better.
Due to its size, a shipping quote can be costly.
