EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and historic portable organ, a medieval processional instrument that once graced the parades and religious ceremonies of the past. Dating back to the 1929, this exquisite organ is now proudly housed at the Brussels Conservatoire in Belgium. The portable organ, also known as a portativ or a shoulder organ, was a versatile musical instrument that allowed musicians to perform on the go. The musician would sling the organ over their shoulder using a strap, and operate the bellows with their left hand while playing the keys with their right. The intricate pipework and pipes, visible in this image, produced a rich and resonant sound that could fill even the grandest of spaces. The portable organ depicted in this photograph is a stunning example of medieval craftsmanship. Its decorative ivory inlays add an elegant touch to the instrument, making it a true work of art. The use of such intricate designs was not uncommon for portable organs of the time, as they were often considered status symbols for the wealthy and the powerful. Despite their historical significance, portable organs are now extremely rare, making this photograph a valuable record of an instrument that has largely been relegated to the annals of history. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when music was an integral part of daily life and portable organs were a symbol of prestige and creativity.
