DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
From THE DIAPASON June 1925: The Estey Organ Company, through its Chicago representative, Lyon & Healy, has placed a four-manual organ in the First Presbyterian Church at Fort Wayne, Ind., and the dedicatory recital was played on May 3 by Edwin Stanley Seder of Chicago.
Database Manager on May 26th, 2011:
Updated through online information from John Gouwens. -- This organ existed in the previous building of First Presbyterian Church. When the present building went up, the 1956 (early Whiteford) Aeolian-Skinner was installed, the Chimes were retained from the old Estey. The rest is presumed destroyed, as was the old building. This was an Estey "cash register" console, and in its later years, the stop buttons would occasionally break loose and shoot behind the player's back.
Database Manager on June 11th, 2008:
Updated through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn:
New console by Aeolian-Skinner as their Opus 1255 in 1953.
