Packard pipe organ

Home away from home

I saw this Packard pipe organ on craigslist it is located in Voorhees NJ about 20 miles east of Philly, if you gpo on craigslist and go to Philadelphia Pennsylvania and put in the word Packard it will bring the ad up with many more photos. The Organ does need repair but the price is right FREE to a good home! So hopefully some Packard afficianto who also has a musical bent can take this item home. I have never seen another one.

Would it fit your trunk, and hook it up to engine vacuum?

Well, it what is known as a harmonium or reed organ. The sound is made by air passing through metal reeds as in an accordian or party favors, not through pipes. The wind is raised by pumping pedals while you play rather than a blower. The are also known as pump organs.

They werre built for household use or small churches that could not afford the considerable expense of an organ installation.
