DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The Wonder Morton has been removed from Wheaton Fox Studio and is
currently in storage while undergoing restoration for eventual return to one
of the remaining Loews Wonder Theaters in the New York City area. -- c. 2013
Paul R. Marchesano on November 3rd, 2021:
In 1998 when Paul and his wife Linda embarked on a major renovation of their home the Music Room was greatly expanded. The original Robert Morton Theatre Pipe Organ was expanded from 20 to 26 sets of pipes, located in two distinct chambers. The Morton-generic 3-manual console was replaced with a rare, highly decorated, 4-manual Wonder Morton console. A small performance stage was added along with a state-of-the-art digital projection system and complementary theatre surround sound system. The Wheaton Café area at the rear of the Music Room provided accommodations for catering and food service. Paul and Linda routinely hosted numerous music groups that visit The Wheaton Fox. -- adapted from "Wheaton Fox Studio" web page
