George Clisbee's "Chamber Organ" (1835-1870) is a fine example of 19th-century American craftsmanship. This small organ, with its intricately carved wooden case, features a three-octave keyboard and a set of pipes. The organ's compact size makes it ideal for domestic use. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, houses this beautiful piece, which exemplifies the growing popularity of chamber music during this period.
