Aeolian-Skinner Organ Co., Inc.
Boston, Mass. – Opus 2001 (1946)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 15 stops, 2 ranks, 158 pipes
This organ was originally installed in Union Theological Seminary for use as
a practice instrument. At some point, the organ was sold to a lady in Poughkeepsie.
Mr. Kirk-Foster purchased the organ in 2009, and enlisted organbuilder John Klauder
to setup the organ in his Manhattan apartment. Mechanisms, pipes and the console
were
repaired and rehabilitated as required. |
