An original installation. Identified by Darrin Upp, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- I was university organist at Miami U. during the 1980s. Sometime in the early 1990s, the organ was sold for approx. $18K and relocated to PA, I believe Pittsburgh. I don't know why it was replaced, as it was in suitable playing condition at the time for the little it was used. It was replaced with an inferior Baldwin Electronic Organ.
