Tres Unique Art Harmonium build by Victor Mustel and delivered to Mason & Hamlin Boston USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as we know now there has been 5 of these instruments delivered  to Mason & Hamlin in the 60-ies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cabinet is made by M&H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One is destroyed, one is lost, one in San Francisco USA,  one in UK, one in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of all the internal modifications like stopaction, round reedcell holes and pallet holes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it has been manufactured befor 1865.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound is overwhelming strong with character!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has the complete stoplist  from nr 1 till 7, Percussion, Fort\u00e9 Fix and Forte Expression,  Double Expression<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do have Mustel #9 in our workshop. The windchest from #9 and the Mustel on the photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

do have the same round holes which after 1864 became rectangular holes!! An important issue to date this instrument!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
