My uncle Joe Nagel did work on this organ in 1970. He has since passed and I have his "scrapbook" of the renovation. Would anyone be interested in this material?
Jim Stettner on April 23rd, 2024:
Updated through online information from Terry Mueller: The Mason & Hamlin grand piano has been missing for many years, although the Skinner-made mobile pneumatic player mechanism is still there. I visited the organ in 1970 along with Harry Ebert, Pittsburgh, PA, organ builder.
