    Noel,

    I have never worn the uniform. That said, I've played two of these before our TLM Apostolate moved to its new digs.

    God bless,

    Chris

    We used one of those at Walsingham in our very early days before we had a permanent home and our own property. We bought it almost like new from an antique dealer. It's like a very small reed organ which one pumps. It folds up like a rather boxy suitcase and we still have it stored away. Our current instrument is 26 ranks by the German builder Bosch. It was built around the late sixties for a Presbyterian church in California. We bought it when we built our present church and had Roy Redman re-voice it and provide new trackers for our space.

    Easter Sunrise Services using one of these, it was an antique and it worked great! Wish I had kept it.
