Parlour Organ

Lots of stops on this Instrument

The Quimper Hitty household seems to mimic the human household at times, especially in the acquisition of numerous large keyboard instruments. Rose admires the little wooden Parlour Organ, and digs out “The Children’s Home Music” book.

As she prepares to play doleful tunes, Rose peers into the rear view mirror and notices that the rest of the Hittys have fled the Parlour.

  It’s from one of my favourite consignment shops – “Super Chance” – you just never know what you’ll find there. I couldn’t resist this bargain!

I don’t think they have fled – I suspect they are just off making popcorn and will be back soon. Min will be at least, when Rose lights into some Ray Charles.

  Yes, maybe someone should take that sad Orphanage Songbook away from her.

oh how funny!! This so reminds me of my own organ playing sister!! Luckily hers was one of those large electric organs..my brother and I pooled our money and bought her some head phones for it……oh the peace and quiet!
Is this a possibilibty for the Quimper girls?

  Alas for the other Quimper Hittys, this is a Pump Organ, with foot-powered bellows. The only way to reduce the noise is to lure Rose outside for a game of hide and seek.

Great organ! It reminds me of the one my gramma had in the basement. I learned to play on that one. How lucky you are to have found it! laura

Love the rear view mirror. She can tell if anyone is watching her practice!

  And keep in time with the choir conductor (if only the other Quimper Hittys would cooperate and sing with her)

Such a wonderful scene! Where did you find the piano/organ and the old book? So enjoyable to peek in on your Hittys, they have wonderful lives!

  I am glad you are enjoying the Quimper Hittys! The little organ was for sale at a consignment store called “Super Chance”. I made the Hitty-sized song book by photocopying and reducing a human-sized song book I found at a garage sale.

    What a great idea to photocopy an old song book and reduce it for Hittys! I love it!
