Studio801-15 Lincoln 17key, Chamber Organ (c.1850s)

This is a video of an 1850s English Chamber Organ by the maker "Henry Cephas Lincoln," of 196 High, Holborn, London. (According to author "Aurthur Ord-Hume," Lincoln was b.1789 & d.1864)
This Organ instrument is Barrel operated using 17 Keys. There are 15 pipe keys. These include 2 sets of 15 lead/tin pipes, (tuned one octave apart,) and a principal rank of 15 wood pipes. Included in the instrument are also a drum stop and a triangle Stop.
In this organs 160+ year history, it has been through many well meaning hands. Besides the normal replacements of leather and wooden parts, It also required a new Key frame, the repairing of many of its lead/tin pipes due to the ravages of "Cone Tuning," and it required the fabrication 6 completely new lead/tin pipes made from flat rolled stock. Lastly it also required the building of one large wood pipe.
I hope you can enjoy the simplicity this early limited instrument affords and consider, in an era without radio and other forms of current entertainment, music in any form was very rare.

Thanks for posting this, it's amazingly similar to my George Aster Organ. Exact brass barrel register and key frame release mechanism as what I have.
