DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from Randell Franklyn Busby. -- Modifications and additions to existing Aeolian-Skinner organ of 1949.
Facility sold to the Order of Franciscans Minor, Conventual. St Bonaventure (Midwest) Province and renamed "Marytown." This location also hosts the (Roman Catholic) National Shrine of St Maxmillian Kolbe.
The organ has been enlarged and upgraded with the addition of ranks and a new digital console (in the style of Aeolian-Skinner). Much of the original voicing remains intact, but several amateur efforts were made by (one hopes) well-intentioned volunteers. The organ is currently (11/01/2013) maintained by Fabry, Inc.
