Location
The console is a 7/8th scale version of a Wurlitzer French-style console. During the most recent restoration the instrument grew from 3/17 to 3/2O ranks, including the addition of several ranks of strings and an Orchestral Oboe. Gone are the huge 16-foot Double Open pipes-to be replaced by digital samples. Also replaced by digital samples are the Marimba and Chrysoglott because there just wasn't room for them in the chambers. Most of the percussion and toy counter is original, augmented with a new Crash Cymbal and Chinese Gong.
Notes on Organ Use:
