DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through on-line information from Don Offinger. -- Facade pipes retain original silver paint with gold & blue stenciling. Central facade pipes and in two towers are all speaking pipes. Facade pipes on extreme left and right (7 on each side) are non-speaking and for decorative purposes only. The speaking pipes are from the Open 8' Diapason in the Great Organ.

Updated through on-line information from Don Offinger. -- This organ was originally constructed with the patented Vacuo-Exhaust system, powered by variable water pressure from city water. The system, though disconnected years ago, is still extant. There is an Echo division in an adjacent room that was playable from the main console, as well as an auxiliary console (without pedals) specific to this lone division. Pipes are still in place, Auxiliary console dismantled.
