Estey Organ Company
Brattleboro, Vt. – Opus 3056 (1934)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 20 stops, 3 ranks


This two-manual organ was built in 1934 by the Estey Organ Company, replacing a two-manual Vocalian that had nine stops. The Factory Shop Order for Op. 3056 shows that there were three unified stops in one expression box, a detached two-manual console with celluloid keys, oak casing, and no front pipes. The organ was voiced on 5" wind pressure. Voicing notes state, "Open, round and full in tone to get as much volume as possible."
