B. J. von Jenny Organ
Builders
Corona, L.I. (1920)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 9 stops, 9 ranks
The following specification is from notes by Larry Trupiano,
organbuilder in Brooklyn:
"I went to the Church only once to tune in February of 1973; it was apparent
then
that the organ had not been maintained very well and I doubt it still exists,
but definitely worth an inquiry.
"The organ was in a very elegant walnut case suggesting it may have been originally
built for a residence. From what I remember, the entire organ was very compact
and rather difficult to tune.
"The nameplate on the organ read: B.J. von Jenny Organ Builder, Corona, L.I.,
New York A.D. 1920. If I had to put a date on the organ, I would say it was
originally late 1870s -80s." |
