Restored Lurth 1977. 9/93 form. [This opus number on the Hook list for State Inst. for the Blind, Austin, TX (2-20s). The Pilcher ledger indicates that Pilcher installed a used H & H from the Institute for the Blind, Austin, TX at Bethlehem Evangelical, 6th & Hill, Louisville, KY in 1918. Where did Lurth get this instrument? Directly from Austin? Or via several moves?]
