Description

Copy of a photograph of Richard Alderson (Neddy Dick) of Keld ( Swaledale) playing a harmonium (or reed organ) in his home. He holds a stick in his left hand for striking the bells on top of the instrument. A tube-like device rests on the harmonium, protruding at an angle which brings it in line with Mr. Alderson's mouth. There is a string attached which might have been used to angle this flute-like tube into position. Fourteen bells of varying sizes, possibly made of brass, sit on top of the harmonium.


Mounted on Photo File card. With ms. note in the hand of Werner Kissling.


Originally held in Photo File: Music.
