Visit to local reed organ Museum

Very funny. Merely 20 km from my home, there is a decent harmonium museum in an abandoned church.
So I went for a visit, to have a look to similar organs.
I found out there are two sorts of reed organs. basically you have pressure and vacuum organs.
The oldest are of the vacuum type and are often called American organs. Mine is clearly of that type.
The pressure type organs have a totally different character. They're more powerfull
I took some pictures of simiral "American" type organs.
