In 2009 was used in a small church in the United Kingdom. No longer extant. I'm intrigued to see no mention of this brand in either the database or Gellerman's Reed Organ atlas. I've written to Hickie & Hickie to see if they know whether these were badged up for them, perhaps from one of the big Canadian makers - was there an obvious one in Quebec? Construction looks fairly standard to me, apart from the use of torsion springs, like
on a portable, for the feeders and fabric straps, rather than wooden levers, to connect the stop knobs to the rear Fortes. The division of the rear forte to Treble & Bass rather than one knob doing the front and one the back, is also one I've not seen before. The other thing I've not seen before is that the keys have about 1/2 inch diameter transverse holes where the front guide pins are - photo attached - but I guess the keys were bought in so that probably doesn't help much. The right knee swell is the only way to open the front Celeste/ Sub Bass Forte.
