reed organ
Bellows-powered instrument
A reed organ is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by forcing air through metal reeds, typically using foot-operated bellows.
Common in homes and small churches before pianos became affordable, reed organs include harmoniums and melodeons.
The tone is softer and more sustained than a piano: She played hymns on the old reed organ in the parlor.
