Something familiar

Something familiar

2014-02-26 by Bruce Daily

Hi all-
Recently, I have spent quite a bit of time sifting through my family's estate. I discovered a travel case, belonging to my grandfather. I am led to believe he used it to carry everything a circuit-traveling Lutheran pastor would need for his congregations and services. The emblem on the inside indicated it had a quite different origin. It housed a folding pump organ. A quick look-up on eBay showed the original instrument, and it looks kinda familiar in a way...

Oh wow.. I have a Bilhorn Telescope, in appalling condition. The one pictured is the finest I have seen yet. These things sound gorgeous.

Looks like a harmonium with foot pedals.
