  • The Waterloo Organ Company
    The Waterloo Organ Company The manufacture of Waterloo Cabinet Organs began in 1861, with a very small plant that developed into one of the largest and best equipped organ factories in the United States. It is still very easy to purchase a Waterloo Pump Organ on eBay or Craigslist. A disastrous fire on May 27, 1881, destroyed the manufacturing plant on the east side of Virginia Street.1 Then Alexander C. Reed and Malcolm Love, his nephew, purchased the Waterloo Organ Manufacturing Company and renamed it as Malcolm Love and Co. In 1888, the company was incorporated as the Waterloo Organ Company, with Alexander C. Reed serving as president.2 The Waterloo Organ Company decided in 1889 to manufacture pianos as well as organs. They engaged a skilled piano builder by the name of Seebald Mennig, who drew up the scale (the interior plan of the piano, including the length of the strings, the method of putting in the sounding board, etc.) for the Malcolm Love Piano. Benjamin B. Knight had purchased the first piano that was manufactured. Knight’s son William D. Knight later donated this piano to the Waterloo Library and Historical Society where it is still on display in its Terwilliger Museum.3 At the World’s Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, the Waterloo Organ Company had a booth where it displayed its Malcolm Love Piano. This piano received an award for its fine quality of tone and good workmanship, equal to the award of any piano exhibited. An official ribbon was given, a copy of which was attached to the back of each Malcolm Love Piano as long as they were thereafter manufactured in Waterloo.

Joel and Pam Jancko started their collection in the early 1990’s with only one building to house a couple of vehicles. This collection has grown through the years with additional buildings to encompass displays of an old town, a war room, a saloon, a soda fountain, a game room, a log cabin, a service station, a bicycle display, a fire station, a cinema, a street scene, a farm scene, a street clock, a steam engine, and even a fort. The Museum complex contains artifacts from the Civil War to WW1 and features many innovations from this time. Of most interest to our MBSI group will be the Music Room with a wide variety of instruments, including an Imhof & Mukle, a Seeburg H, a Wurlitzer CX, a Double Mills Violano, a Cremona K, a Weber Unika, an Encore Banjo, a Model B Harp, a Bruder band organ, a Limonaire band organ, a Bruder monkey organ, an American Photo Player and a classic Mortier, as well as a variety of cylinder and disc music boxes, organettes and phonographs. Making its debut at this meeting will be their newly acquired and installed 3 manual/11 rank Wurlitzer Opus 1616 theatre organ (model 235SP), expanded to 22 ranks.

  • The Organs: Early Instruments Pump Organ the Pump Organ for Several Years Has Been in the Home of Sara Marcia Rafter in Black Mountain
    The Organs: Early Instruments Pump Organ The pump organ for several years has been in the home of Sara Marcia Rafter in Black Mountain. It was not playable, but seemed to be in fair, albeit non-playing, condition. Mrs. Rafter returned the organ to the church in 2010 upon selling her home on Dougherty Street. It is now in storage awaiting funds and time for it to be restored to playing condition. First Baldwin organ It seems according to documents that there was a “first” Baldwin organ which serviced the church. This was eventually replaced by the instrument described below. Baldwin Electronic Organ For a time there was an electronic organ which served the congregation’s musical needs. This was a Baldwin Model 11 organ, described as “a comprehensive two-manual instrument, specifically designed to meet the current demands for a complete two-manual electronic organ of superior musical quality, in keeping with today’s concepts of organ building.” Materials produced by the church to describe the organ go on to explain some of the features of this instrument (much of this text is likely itself copied from Baldwin’s sales materials): All details of console arrangement are in accordance with recommendations of the America Guild of Organists. All stops are independent and are programmed through various channels of the five-channel amplification system in the main organ, and the three-channel system in the echo organ, so as to give good acoustical separation for best musical results. In the tone generation and amplification system, solid state transistors and diodes as well as vacuum tubes are employed in the circuitry to utilize the best qualities of each.

  • A Link in the Chain: the Pump Organ's Role in the History of Christian Worship
    1 “A Link in the Chain: The Pump Organ’s Role in the History of Christian Worship” By Jacob R. Johnson, 2nd place winner, 2018 Tucked away in an inauspicious display in the Dunnam Bible Museum at Houston Baptist University is an eclectic musical instrument once used in a Texas Baptist church. Although it is somewhat of an oddity in today’s world of electrified praise bands, it is in fact an important part of the fascinating and evolving story of the millennia-old tradition of worship music in the Christian church. The Ross Avenue Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas was the original user of this pump organ, made in the 1890s by the Jesse French Piano and Organ Company. After the church decommissioned the instrument, Elijah and Ruth Propps, a couple wedded at the church, restored it for home use. After the couple passed, the pair’s children, Gregory Dean Propps and Greta Collins, donated the organ to HBU (museum exhibit). The Jesse French Piano and Organ Company was headquartered in Nashville. It had a huge retail presence in the South and Midwest, augmented by 100 traveling salesmen. Although its fortunes were largely tied to the popularity of ragtime music, its instruments obviously found their way into churches as well (Joyner). Pump organs, while lacking the tonal versatility of their pipe organ cousins, are not built into a building’s architecture, making them portable. This allows them to be used at a variety of venues. In this particular case, the organ was used at tent meetings before the church constructed a building.
