DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Paul Dessau. -- Here is some info I (Paul Dessau) received concerning organ history at FUM Russelville, after contacting the church:
The organ that you are researching was donated by the Bradford family in the 1978 to 1985 range. The family has all either passed or moved out of state. I was able to ascertain that the organ was a composite of several older organs, the console and pipes being from different instruments. Hope this helps. Any further information would be mere speculation I'm afraid.
Database Manager on March 1st, 2013:
Updated through online information from Randy Terry. -- This instrument was an assemblage of various components by Norville Hall. Sold or given to Jerry Ellis prior to the installation of the new instrument by W. Zimmer & Sons.
Database Manager on January 6th, 2010:
Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The console appeared to be an old Austin console. The exposed pipework was clearly vintage. When I saw this organ in December of 1987, it was barely playable. Disposition of this insturment is unknown. It has since been replaced with a new encased W. Zimmer & Sons pipe organ.
