This is a project from about ten years ago. It is a replica of a pump organ that has been in the family for almost 100 years. My sister had it for several years, but got one that was in better playing condition. I got the old one so it would stay in the family, but wanted my sister to have something to remember the old one by.
It’s about 3 inches cross, made from walnut.
The knobs behind the keyboard are little brad nails.
The black sharp keys are snipped pieces of wire.
It has some dust in the nooks, but then again…usually the big on does too.
