DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
After being derelict for many years, the organ was renovated by David Storey of Baltimore. Bellows, now single rise, was releathered, new blower added, All pipes cleaned, missing and spurious pipes were replaced with pipes from other derelict Pomplitz organs in Baltimore. A new electric console was built and attached to the front of the case in the location of the original. This was accomplished in 2012. The organ remains with electro=pnuematic pull down action and electric stop action with a simple combination action. Pedal stops were increased to 30 notes and a BDO scale pedalboard was used in the new console. The manuals are of 58 notes.
