Wodehouse's American Harmonium is a late model Mason & Hamlin instrument from 1918 that is also classified as a reed organ. Fully restored and pitched to A440, it has a stoplist and performance capability Bird had in mind when composing these pieces. Energy for producing the sound is initiated through Wodehouse's foot- pumping.
