Hi

Hm.  Interesting instruments - but very much designed for the "reluctant" organist.  The keyboard compass is short - descending only to F, rather than the more normal C and spanning 4 octaves from there.  They are often foot-blown (like a Harmonium).  By now, the pneumatic melodic couplers will probably need attention they provide, depending on the model of the organ, a melodic bass and a treble solo (and the electronic people thought they'd got their first!).  I hear that Casson's are generally well made, so if you can cope with the compass limiiations then it's an interesting instrument.

Every Blessing

They are good little instruments, this was how one was improved a few years ago http://www.npor.org.uk/cgi-bin/Rsearch.cgi?Fn=Rsearch&rec_index=N01757
