On the surplus market, Ametek Windjammer blowers will work for organ applications. There is one smaller one in particular that came out of Xerox copiers that...

I'm interested in a nice quite blower for a Johnson 125 Bandola (copy of the Wurlitzer 125) This organ operates at 8"WG. most of the blowers seem top out at 6...
Here's a lead. You will need to check it out. Dave Miner used to make a super 2-stage blower for his Tangley Calliopes. It was really quiet, and top...
Gee, you don't want much, do you???? To get 10 inches of water lift takes a large, fast, powerful blower. If you don't want the noise or size of that, then...
I posted the note below once a while back on MMD and was promptly blasted by one of the "purists" I don't think he checked his facts before blasting me....

These are interesting-looking blowers, and certainly within my reach financially. Does anyone know what the "pressure" is rated in? The site says it's rated...
It's inches of water for sure. Centrifugal blowers that produce 10" (water) of pressure turn about 3500 rpm and are 18" in diameter. I have one from BOB...
You may not need a full-size centrifugal blower. Multi-stage Brushless blowers are very quiet and put out a lot of pressure. I bought an Ametek-Rotron...

My recommendation would be to consider bellows pumps. They may look a bit daunting at first. Especially the skiving part. Valves can also be a bit tricky....
If you plan on keeping your bellows system in service for years to come, do not use anything found at a cloth store to cover the bellows. I carry the thickest...
