Midmer-Losh Organ Company
Merrick, N.Y. (1926)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 11 stops, 11 ranks
The following specification was recorded (July 1924) by Louis F. Mohr, an organ serviceman in the area. Mohr noted that the detached console was at the side of the church and indicated the manual and pedal compasses. Pipecounts were not included but are suggested below, based on similar Midmer-Losh organs of the era. It is possible that the Great 8' Melodia and 4' Flute d'Amour are duplexed from the Swell 8' Stopped Diapason and 4' Flute Harmonique, respectively, and the Pedal 16' Bourdon is a 12-note extension of a manual flute. The fate of this organ is unknown. |
