B. Bronson's Wurlitzer / 2021 Unconventional Convention

Each week, I will put information up regarding the organs that are going to be used for the Unconventional Convention. The first organ I will introduce is in the private music collection of B Bronson, located in SE Michigan. Along with many small and large mechanical musical instruments is a 3/10 Wurlitzer. The organ, originally a style “D”, Opus 0683, has been in several locations. Originally in the Strand Theatre, Madison, Wisconsin, it was repossessed and moved to the Gem Theatre in Crystal Falls, Michigan. From there, it went to Saint Mary of the Angels in Green Bay, Wisconsin, then to a private owner in Green Bay, who sold it to a private owner in Cleveland, Ohio, before being installed in its current home in SE Michigan in 1987.

The organist is Justin Stahl, originally from Indianapolis, now living in Columbis, Ohio. Justin was featured at the last Indianapolis Convention, and we are thrilled to have him perform for the Unconventional Convention.
