DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is a replica of a medieval "portativ" organ or Theophylus. There is no modern keyboard...but rather individual note "sliders" that are pulled out to admit wind to the pipes. There are 17 notes of three ranks of copper pipes and a set of hand cast German bronze bells. The organ requires two players for performance: one to draw the sliders located under each note and a second player to supply the wind through two wedge bellows. The organ was a bequest to the Cathedral from the estate of their late organist: Howard Hoyt, Cathedral Organist from 1976-1992.
