David Kazimir on March 4th, 2023:
The organ is still a Brombaugh. The work of re-pitching was carried out by Hal Gober in 2014-15.
Jim Stettner on September 4th, 2022:
This entry represents the installation of an existing organ in a new home. Identified from an email sent by Charles Beck on Sept. 4, 2022. The Brombaugh was originallly built for the Oberlin, Ohio residence of organ professor David S. Boe, who gifted the organ to the Conservatory. It was inaugurated in its new home in 2016. There is no independent Pedal division. The 16' Subbaß is a mechanical extension/duplex of the Manual 8' Gedackt.
