DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This small practice instrument was built at the request of Melville Smith, then organ instructor at Wellesley College, who died suddenly just before the organ was installed. Charles Fisk wrote: “I am so terribly sorry that he will not be able to use the only organ I was ever able to build for him.” Smith was not only a strong supporter of Charles Fisk’s work, but one who had a significant influence on his musical tastes.
This organ became a prototype for seven other instruments built in substantially the same style in in later years.
After many years of service at Wellesley College, Opus 37 was purchased for a private residence. The organ was later sold to the University of North Texas at Denton. A Flute 4' was added to the organ when it was moved and installed at UT.
