Paul R. Marchesano on May 5th, 2026:

See DOCUMENTS tab for a clipping from the Tracker describing the organ. "Housed in an Empire case of mahogany veneer on pine, it has a 63-note keyboard, six draw stops, 34 wooden pipes, 189 metal pipes, and 29 free reeds-a rare extant example..."

Christian Tedesco on May 5th, 2026:

The Tracker only gives 189 metal, 34 wooden pipes, 29 free reeds, and a list of the 6 registers. This stop list I put up was made using educated guesswork from similar organs of the same time period, it should not be used as an "academic" source as it is not able to be professionally verified.
