Estey Organ Company
Brattleboro, Vt. – Opus 1074 (1912)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 9 stops, 9 ranks
This organ was moved from an unknown theatre in Philadelphia sometime before 1913. Estey's Shop Order (Sept. 14, 1912) states that there were bronzed front pipes and oak woodwork. A note was made that the Swell Box was "to open at back for tuning Vox Humana." The entire organ was on 5" wind pressure, with the note, "Voice very loud." |
