If you couldn't get an organ proper for your church, the next best thing was an Harmonium like this lovely old puffer which resides in All Saints Crostwight. I confess I did have a little tootle on the ivories and even though I am not even a piano player I could make it make some lovely sounds. They are perhaps difficult instruments to play as you have to pedal to keep the bellows inflated, rather like bagpipes, and this made them unpopular with 'serious' musicians who didn't want to be doing with all that manual labour.
