An original installation. Identified by David Poile, using information from this web site: http://www.cbfisk.com/instruments/opus_118_about.

This five-rank, ten-stopknob instrument functions as a practice instrument in the Shepherd School of Music of Rice University. The console is a copy of the Fisk/Rosales op. 109 organ in the Edythe Bates Old Recital Hall and was built in collaboration with Schreiner Pipe Organs (and is their op. 6). The bottom keyboard is a coupling manual. All five ranks are enclosed with the Swell shades controlled by the center Swell shoe.
