[edit]- Dr. Robert J. Allan (8 January 2024 last updated) "The Reed Organ" in The Free Reed Organ in England "Reed organs, for the sake of this study, are usually free reed organs powered by vacuum (suction), often referred to as ``American organs because most originated in the USA. They are also often refered to as ``pump organs on all continents. Ian Thompson refers to them as SROs (Suction Reed Organs). The story is that an employee of Debain invented this kind of instrument, was not able to produce it in France and therefore emigrated to seek his fortune. We note however that there are some pressure instruments which cannot be classified as harmoniums (such as certain models of Aeolian Orchestrelle and the Vocalion) and there are also combined suction/ pressure instruments which we have listed as reed organs. We thus reserve the name ``harmonium for the original French style pressure wind instrument and use the name ``reed organ for everything else. Self playing instruments are covered in a chapter of their own, as are the more familiar of all types. "
