It does work when the straps were in place but I am sure it needs to be tuned. Had new straps made for the pedals, but those have now come off and I have conditioned the wood many times over the years. The only things I have done to this is replace the fabric on the pedals. This belonged to my great grandma and I hate to get rid of it but I do not have the room for it anymore. And also has some pretty carvings, see the pictures below. But the wood itself is in excellent condition. I also do not know what kind of wood this is made of. It does have the number 5525 on the back if that means anything. I have tried to figure out when this was made and have not been successful. This is an antique pump/reed organ made by Estey Co.
