M. P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 1021 (1909)
Tubular-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 14 registers, 13 stops, 13 ranks
The Ledger Book copy of the Letter of Agreement (undated) between M.P. Möller
and Jamaica Lodge #546 F. & A.M. states that Möller would build an organ
for a consideration of $2,500, plus an additional $150 to separate the console
to a point not to exceed six feet from the organ case. In the margin is a note
that a Mahogany case would cost an additional $50; however, the specifications
on the next page indicate the organ was built with casing of birch wood. Möller
used tubular-pneumatic action to control the pipes, all of which were enclosed
except for the Open Diapason. This organ was to be "complete and ready for
use on or before the 1st day of November 1909 Positively." A note indicates
that the organ was shipped on October 8, 1909. |
