DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and 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 American Organist, Vol. 47, No. 8.
-- From TAO: "The case is mahogany, loosely inspired by the design of a 1689 instrument in the National Museum of Musical Instruments in Rome. All pipework is wood, made from mahogany, poplar, and Alaskan yellow cedar. The keyboard naturals are yellow-heart, and the sharps are African blackwood. The instrument is in two detachable parts: the upper part contains the keyboards, windchest, and most of the pipework; the lower part acts as the base and contains the blower, regulator, and the bottom octave of the 8'."
