I like that harmonium. Do you play it often?

@ArishMell I didn't intend for that picture to be seen cause it is so blurry. I can't photograph with the lap top properly. No, but I'm learning some chords and fooling around with the melodies. I bought that at a garage sale for twenty bucks, two months back. And the price included delivery. It's a pump organ from 1890's from the Dominion Organ and Piano Co. from Bowmanville, Ont. Canada. Coicidentally, I had just starting reading Timothy Findley's 'The Piano Man's Daughter which deals with a same period Piano manufacturer in Toronto... It is in superb condition.

@atlantic59 I'd have a job photographing anything with my computer, even if it has a camera.. it's a desktop PC!

A bargain there then! Good to see it's found a caring new home.

'Harmonium' is the formal name for those instruments, and most were bought by schools and chapels. I think Nico used one, as a member of Velvet Underground - despite progressive rock being a somewhat unlikely genre for such an instrument.
