Re: Estey Pump organ
In an Era of home entertainment, compared to piano's Pump organs were a far more popular item during the last quarter of the 19th century, as they were far cheaper and easier to maintain. Unfortunately today pump organs are what's often called " Dust Collectors" in the trade, demand is limited for them unless you can find the right buyer. Today in good shape most sell for under $500.00.
