DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry represents the installation of a previously modified, used organ. Updated through online information from Gary A. Loper. -- I recently restored this instrument from storage to playing condition. Instrument had an enclosed Swell originally, but that was deleted when rebuilt by Otto Hofmann in the late 1950s. The kick panel hole for access to the expression pedal was covered as was the slot in the side of the case where the bellows lever protruded. Otto also added a Meidinger blower to replace the bellows in his rebuild. -- Great Dulciana and Melodia have a common bass as do the Stopped Flute and Salicional on the Swell. The Quinte on the Swell is a tenor C stop. The Pedal 16' Bourdon is a straight 27 notes.
