Help! Looking to Rehome an Estey, Reed Organ Circa 1880
Hello,
My 85 year old mother is looking for a home for her grandmother’s working, Estey, reed organ. She is downsizing from a large farmhouse to a small apartment and cannot take it with her. She has called various historical societies/museums in her area to see if they would like it, but she has had no luck. I have sent emails to music departments at several universities. Organ is located in Southern, NJ.
Very little is known about the organ, as my grandfather was a baby when his mother passed away, but my mother believes it was manufactured in the mid 1800s to late 1800s. The organ does work and my mother has had it refurbished twice.
Might anyone have any suggestions for us? My mother's moving day is imminent and we are getting desperate!
