DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
I own the instrument it’s been in my home since 1966 and was reassembled by 1968 still intact but not played since 1990ish
Paul R. Marchesano on November 9th, 2026:
"The above specification is typical of may small Frank Roosevelt organs. It shows the trend in tonal design near the end of the nineteenth century. When this type of specification was applied to even smaller instruments, with some ranks having the later Frank Roosevelt heavy voicing, an organ was produced with a really miserable ensemble".
-- David Schnute from T 10:3:2
