Theofiel Mortier, S.A. (Antwerp, Belgium)

This colorful, outstanding 105-key Mortier organ incorporates technology available beginning in the 1940s, this being the case with many other vintage Mortier instruments. Featuring elaborate, detailed Art Deco accents, it was restored by fourth-generation organ specialist Johnny Verbeeck in Belgium. It contains pipes, a Hammond electric organ, accordion, saxophone and percussion. A desirable feature is the continuous play wheel, which holds a group of tunes on cardboard music spliced together into a long endless "loop," eliminating the need to change the book after each tune. Two endless cradles of music are with the organ. The instrument is in outstanding condition and is ready to entertain its next owner. 152x108x74 inches.
