Please help identify this 1800s organ:

I'm trying to learn about this organ. Can you help identify it, or tell me what to look for to help do so? There is one blank recess just below the music stand. I can't find any actual identifying marks so far, but I understand it was built in the mid 1800s.

Edit: Thank you, it is a Geo H. Ryder from the late 1800s.

Is Blender or FreeCAD better for designing my first BIM project?

FreeCAD/BIM Workbench vs Blender/Bonsai?

I'm an active FreeCAD user, but remain pretty new to BIM. I'm looking to do some small BIM projects (ideally including some MEP, but not required), and want to know if the FreeCAD BIM Workbench is really the place to start.

The Bonsai plugin for Blender seems to be more advanced from a BIM/MEP perspective, but I'm not sure if it is a better place to learn or not. I haven't used Blender, so there would be an additional learning curve.

Any suggestions? I'd prefer to stay inside FreeCAD if it is a good choice. Perhaps if Bonsai is a better BIM tool, I would just continue component modeling in FreeCAD, and building work in Blender/Bonsai.

[I'm piggybacking on a recent question asked about a 3D project. I appreciated the discussion there: https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeCAD/comments/1smogy9/is_blender_or_freecad_better_for_designing_my/ ]
