Dunno... most of them go for the fancier stuff nowadays anyway... When
our church was rebuilding an old Hook & Hook tracker organ, the organ
builder did come over to take a look at the pipes, to see if any of them
might be put into the church's organ, but she said that they weren't
compatible with that organ...  :)

We own another reed organ, currently being stored at our church, which
is about that size, and has the option of being foot pumped or using the
electrification... But as it also has a pedalboard the latter is
preferable..  :)  And we own a small parlor reed organ, which is only
foot pumped... only maybe 4 octaves or so, and split keyboard stops...
that one is in our front entry hall...
