Estey Studio at 25 West 45th Street:
Estey Organ Company
Brattleboro, Vt. – Opus 1010 (1912)
Electro-pneumatic action
3 manuals, 32 stops, 28 ranks
This completely-enclosed, three-manual organ was voiced for a small room, "to show the most refined tonal effects." The Pedal organ was augmented from the Great, and employed Estey's new patented [Haskell] basses which enabled those stops to be placed under a ceiling only eleven feet high. An Estey Automatic Roll Player could play 58 and 85 note rolls. The organ was ultimately sold to J.W. Baxter, of Greenwich, Conn.
