Schiedmayer Scheola

Hi all,

I'm new on this Forum and I like to write in English if it is OK.

Im from Germany and I#m very Interested to Harmoniens and the Literature.

In my private property I have 3 Fantastic Instruments.

1. A Mannborg Style 17 -> for Mr. Schmitt. in a "German" Disposition
2. A 2manual Kotykiewicz Harmonium with Percussion, Prologement, Double Expression, Harpe Eolienne2 Bass and Baryton 32 Discant.
3 A Schiedmayer Scheola without "Scheola"

I like to get some pictures of this Instruments later.

First I need some help for my Schiedmayer




This is it.
A victim of a Organist who not like to "peddle"

It hasnt yet the two Prologement, Forte Expressive and the Expression.

At First I have a Question. Can I get some Pictures of the Prologement of Mustel???

Please help me by this project.

Thank a lot ans Sorry for my bad English

HarpeEolienne

What interesting instruments you have !!!

A shame you dont have the Scheola part. Is is original, or has it been thrown out, as often for Mustel's Concertals ?
And I don't get it : has the Scheola pedals been suppressed and the front panel replaced ?

(V.F. : Quel dommage que vous n'ayez pas la partie Scheola - rappel http://www.gdo.de/harmonium/schiedmayer/scheola.htm . Est-ce d'origine, ou bien a-t-elle été jetée comme souvent pour les concertals de chez Mustel ? Et je ne comprends pas bien : les pédales du Schéola ont été supprimées et le panneau de devant remplacé ???)

Here you can download the Mustel book dealing with the harmonium.
https://harmonium.forumactif.org/t6-alphonse-mustel-l-orgue-expressif-ou-harmonium-1904
On page 125 of the book (150 of the pdf file), there is a proper scheme of the prolongement device as Mustel made it.
I hope it helps !

Very Thank for this Information.

I havent the Scheola or the original case. (not complete corret that the original Wood without the wonderful Art of the 1920.)
The preowner has buy it from a Church and this church destroy the Forte Expressive, Expression and the Case in the 60s for "easier" playing

I've the Mustel book but nees some "real" pictures to compare with my.

That's my situation





Thank

HarpeEolienne

P.S.

Kotykiewicz:



Mannborg

Hello,
Where do you live? You can come to Heidelberg and look at the prolongement of my Mustel.
Christoph

There is the same signature on your Scheola than on these dominators :
http://www.harmoniumnet.nl/schiedmayer-dominator.html

Do you have the system of selective prolongements ?

I think this Schiemayer has the selective prolongements (little tongues upper the stops).
I will take pics of the prolongement of my Mustel (hooks under the keyboard, prismatic board on the chest).

Great pics of your Still 17 !

(sorry for my english... but my german isn't better !).

First of all: I love your parents that they named you Harpe Eolienne :-)


You might consider to contact Markus Lenter of Lenter Orgelbau.
He has restored many Schiedmayer instruments, among them a number of Dominators in all know types. (Rossini, Wagner, Strauss).
He also restored a number of Mustels....

Herr Fritzsche ware damals Meister bauer zu Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik ( J & P Schiedmayer). Er kam vom eine Harmonium/Piano Firma in Kirchheim u/Teck etwa 1904.

I was told quite some time ago that the Prolongement Forte & Prolongement Piano (doux) was created by lifting the soupape (Note Ventil) only half (doux) or full (Forte).

The "little tongues upper the stops

http://www.harmoniumnet.nl/Images/Prolongement-3%20Indications%20web.jpg

have no function regarding the Prolongements.

The 'upper tongues" in fact change the number of reeds when the relevant Jeux d'anches is drawn, see the graphic attached in the picture. Switch the 'upper tongues' of and all the bass notes will play.


Danke schön, Dankuwel, Merci....

Frans
(loosing weight because I have to answer questions)....

(I lost 7 kilograms the last 2 months, soon I will be a countertenor again )

Here is a picture of the inside of the Dominator and the locations of the front & backside reeds.

First of all: See the Prolongement at the left side of the Frontside reeds.

Of course the Prolongement only act on the frontside jeux d'anches...


Frans

P.S. I presume that the Dominator & Scheola will have the same system. They must be according to the Mustel system, because Julius and Paul learned it from the Mustel guys.... ;-p

Finally:


All you would like to see about Schiedmayer:

There are more than 20 pages on Schiedmayer and still working to make more pages....

Frans

Je me suis embrouillé entre les différents prolongements et les tessitures mobiles contrôlées par les languettes. Au temps pour moi, désolé Frans!

Hi

First: Christoph very thanks for your invitation but I live in Cuxhaven/Niedersachsen. It's a little bit to far for me

You are all still right. Fritsche was an very well Harmoniumbuilder.

But he built in two different times different "types" The first type was more brighter sound.(I think that he dont take "euphorisated" tongues)
The second type was more dense romantic and full off.

Now to the Prologement:

Yes it's right. Schiedmayer built in the Modell Dominator ans Scheola too both Prologement.

Here is an description from Karg-Elert (kunst des registrieren-in german sorry )

Thank HarpeEolienne (bourgeois Peer)

A resentful

the little switches are very clever system.

https://i.servimg.com/u/f41/17/01/28/54/foto10.jpg

They open the channel on the example C-H side a little bit. That sounded only this side.

The Scheola use that for the Violon 16 in bass. This rank exist only from C-H.

Peer

Olivier. Very thank for your nice words about my Style 17

I invest many time to restore this huge instrument

Hi all, 3 A Schiedmayer Scheola without "Scheola"

Today I checked the Dieterlen dissertation (the one of 1699 pages).

In tome III I found a Brevet (patent) by St. Mustel Cie, 1906, regarding the 'scheola mechanism' on a Mustel Concertal avec Celesta.
It is patent 373.151 dated 1906.

I have the first page of the official brevet, and I added the drawings from the Dieterlen dissertation.
Mind you, the drawings in the dissertation are of a quality that could cause you to start your Citroën C6,
and drive at speed 216 kmh hoping that...
and only after an hour or so you know you have to see your psychiatrist.....

Don't worry, go to this page:

http://www.harmoniumnet.nl/history-8-mustel.html

And you can download the 2 pages about the 'scheola part'

Thank you Frans,

Schiedmayer built many different types with scheola (names Scheaola or Palästrina). Here is a picture of a Scheola with 2 manuals and Celesta.

http://www.maesto.com/angebotbilder2.html

I've look at my Kotykiewicz. The instrument have a Prologement too but with another system.
That have that system that a halfrounded strip?(named Leiste ) who going into the hook.

The Taloniere of the kidney is not triggered with foot lever but with a button next to the Doppelexpression.

If its possible I need a picture of the foot lever my Mustel or other.

I hope you understand my very bad english

Thank you Frans, Peer

Vielleicht war es einfacher in Deutsch zu schreiben. Es gibt genug Leute zum übersetzen von wichtige Fragen.

Ok thanks for the explanation

My next question is that I dont know how the Expression works at the Art.

Can everybody exlain me (with pictures please ) how that look like????


Very Thank

(To Frans in manchen Fällen wenn die erklärungsnot ganz groß ist schreibe ich in Deutsch Danke)

Good evening all,

after an eternity, I could now finally have a little work on my Scheola and had passed on I can recreate some buttons and labels tab.

The result can be found here very



to this





currently I'm working very intensely on bellows. I noticed that the blower was in the "electrification" not only reduced but also mutilated.

Corners have been cut out at the sides and the support plate has been reduced.

A difficult task.

How it's actually been the practice in Mustel? was there a standard or if the bellows (for example, come up with from The Salicional 16) with the larger time?

Thank you very much

peer



(not "better English _google translator )

Hello Peer,

do you still own parts of the scheola mechanics? The specific scheola buttons don't seem to be on your instrument any longer.
I was wondering how this system must have worked. Do you own other pictures of your instrument. Would be nice if you could send
me some,

thanks,
Nils

Hi Nils,

This is a bit complicated. In my instrument was as good as anything that belongs to a Scheola (and to a real art harmonium!) In the 60 years away. In addition, the "Schöpfbälge" were removed to make room for an engine. This engagement has not only the originality, but also the art harmonium brought to a very bad level. I'm trying to help a lot of experts, at least make the instrument again full-fledged art harmonium.


(The valve with a hole for a hanger wire)


By the way! The Scheola is (according to Karg-Elert) from the disposition produces the most advanced. Karg-Elert writes in his "Kunst des Registrierens" an art that requires harmonium particularly in the bass range is neither a fully developed Aeolian Harp (Unda Maris) is still a full 16 feet. Schiedmayer has taken to heart and that this instrument (probably in others as well?), The undated c and Maris until it built the 16 foot (Violon) only by C-c.

Best peer

Now I understand why the registers are scrambled on the right side of your instrument, the most favored combinations are integrated in this system.
common examples of Karg-Elert and Paul Smidt: 148, 56, 569, 37

as a result:

1p 8 4 1 5 6 9 2 7 3

the 1p is the first register because it only activates the percussion, not the 1!

Your instrument is the first Schiedmayer I have seen with the undamaris but without a celesta which is very strange..
Normally your instrument should have had the prolongements as well. Do you think it's possible that both were removed?
Maybe it was a special order, also possible.. you asked for the measurements of the pedals: 20,5 cm x 26,5 cm

All the best,
Nils

Votre instrument??? Il manque aussi les prolongements, les percussions et l'expression.



2 examples "Scheola sans celesta", ils ont 3 pedales!! peut-être pour des autres prolongements..
