Does anyone happen to know any history or anything about the Columbian Organ? I know that they were based out of Chicago Illinois, but no nothing further. </p>
</p>
A side question, if anyone has ever constructed bellows from scratch please let me know. </p>
</p>
I just purchased the organ for $30 and it was missing the bellows. I would like to keep it non-electric if at all possible. Everything else seems functional even the stop labels aren't missing. I have to reproduce some grill work, but all the action in the keys and stops seems functional. From what I can see, (I haven't started pulling it apart to start cleaning the inside.) but all of the reeds seem to be there. I'm going to have to invest in a lot of felt too. It came with an adjustable stool that need a bit of glue and love. I was pleasantly pleased.</p>

Thanks</p>
