This organ is unusual in the fact the actual organ stands in a separate case behind the front and not attached to it, the percussion is all on top of the case like in a theatre organ, there is a set of tubular bells on it too which you can hear now and then.
The drums are in a separate case mounted in front of the main organ chassis. It may have orginally been installed in the roof but it is not now. It also features extra percussion like tympani beaters on the bass drum and a large bell that chimes at the end of every old book to signal chancing dance partners.
@@christiantedesco1477 Thanks for the info about the bell - I've heard it in recordings but never known what it signified. I'm always reminded of it when the leader of a steelband gives a ting-ting-ting at the start of a piece. (A mechanical steelband - now that would be a thing!!)
Some spirited renditions here. I'm very fond of the distinctive Mortier sound.

This organ used to be owned by Terry Hathaway if I recall. And I believe it's now in Australia?
Yes, that's correct, now owned by Craig Robson in Sydney.

Where did you get these recordings? I believe these were made by the late Johnny Verbeeck when the organ was in his workshop.
