DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Alan Binger. -- Full size Universal Air Chests with airlock. The Austin is in original condition with the exception of console renovations which include solid state combination action, (Peterson) new keyboards and some solid state switching as well. The pipework is largely intact. Inoperable sections include the echo division and two ranks of Trombas in the main organ (one manual, one pedal). The silent portions fell victim to the leather substitute Perflex although the rest of the organ was re-leathered with traditional materials, interest / funds waned and the deteriorated action in the aforementioned silent portions remains. The organ is seldom used but is in acceptable musical condition.
