In this photograph, we find Mrs. Galpin delicately playing the keys of a remarkable 17th century Bible Organ, an exquisite addition to the extensive collection of over 600 musical instruments housed in Essex, England during the 1930s. The organ's bellows are meticulously pumped by hand, adding a sense of authenticity and intimacy to the performance. The organ's case, a work of art in itself, is crafted from an ancient Bible, its pages now repurposed as the organ's outer casing. The intricate design etched into the Bible's cover is still visible, adding a unique and spiritual element to the instrument. The Bible Organ is a testament to the rich history of music and craftsmanship that exists within the Essex collection. This collection, which numbers over 600 instruments, is a treasure trove of musical history, showcasing the evolution of musical instruments throughout the centuries.
