Parlor Organ Rescue
Several months ago, I stoppd by a local resale shop that I have been known to frequent. I spotted the ornate top section of a Victorian parlor organ. When I asked where the rest of it was, I was told that "Fred" had burned it. "They take up too much space and no one wants them", I was further told. Then I was told that there was another one coming. I said "don't burn that one". Here it is in its new home, spared from a fiery death. It is an Estey organ, made of solid walnut, and probably dating from the 1880's. It works quite well, other than having a couple of sticky keys.
