DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in The Tracker, Spring 2014.
-- According to Petty, 2014, "Tonally, the organ was an exceptionally fine instrument, with a complete principal chorus on the Great, and an unusually large Pedal department. Mechanically, the organ was an example of all things modern, with tubular-pneumatic key- and stop- action, pneumatic windchests, tubular-pneumatic couplers, and an adjustable pneumatic combination action--all bearing Pilcher patents. A Ross water motor pumped the bellows."
