H.D. Bentley pump organ

By rainbowsunshine, 6 March, 2009
Description

needs repair but in good condition; 2 foot pedals, 36 keys, 10 knobs, reddish wood, perhaps mahogany, pullout cover above the keys, music sheet holder in center lifts up for storage, rectangular mirror above also centered, wood cutout floral details with red fabric behind so that it fills the negative spaces, various other cutout detail as well as carved floral accents. It has been in my family for a few generations yet little is known about it. I did happen to find out that the L.Grunewald Co. Ltd was a New Orleans music house circa 1931. more information about this lovely antique would be greatly appreciated.
