DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Marc Hansen. -- Source of information from local papers, and people who have worked on the organ, which was made playable for a wedding some years ago. The Skinner and its roll collection are still in the Grunow house. The estate was purchased by Tony Accardo in the 1950s. Therefore Tony Accardo moved - the organ didn't.
Database Manager on May 15th, 2006:
