DETAILS
This instrument is: ExtantandPlayable in this location
Dr. Greene donated the organ to St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Altavista, Virginia.
Database Manager on February 16th, 2013:
Organ relocated without any change.
Identified by James R. Stettner, based on information from Online "for Sale" ad with photo; and reply from Lewis & Hitchcock to an email inquiry .
-- The organ was originally built for the Wake Forest, North Carolina residence of Dr. H. Max Smith. In 1994 it was sold to Dr. J. William Greene, then of Buffalo, NY. At that time, new keyboards and a new solid state switching system were installed. Dr. Greene apparently relocated to Lynchburg, Virginia sometime after 1994. The organ was advertised for sale on musiciansbuyline.com/classifieds for $16,000.00. The organ is free-standing and encased. The case is asymmetrical with the largest pipes of the principal and stopped flute ranks clearly visible on the left side. The Rohrflute pipes are engraved "Samuel Pierce 1880." The voicing is described as "generally soft voicing" in the ad.
