NOTES
This organ was originally built for Bowling Green State University on Bowling
Green, Ohio. This is a stock model, 3-rank Möller 'Portable' with the attached
keydesk which can be pushed inside the case for transport. The three ranks are:
Octave Conique (49p), Lieblich Gedeckt (85p), and Salicet (61p). It was for sale
by the Leek Organ Co. in 2013 for $7,500.00.
It was acquired by an organist in Southington, CT., and then sold to the Shafer
family in Willimantic, CT. in September 2017.
