DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The organ is installed in rear gallery chambers, behind grill cloth. Both divisions are under expression. -- Manual windchests are 72 notes.
Database Manager on January 4th, 2013:
This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
Identified by Scot Huntington, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- The organ was essentially a new organ using old parts of the instrument originally installed in the former building, plus material from the Parsons inventory, and new custom-made pipework and auxiliary chestwork. The project consultant who drew up the stoplist was Dr. Melvin LeMon, organ professor and Chair of the Music Department at Alfred University. LeMon acquired the original Hillgreen, Lane & Co. horseshoe console for the studio teaching organ at Alfred University, which was junked along with the organ in the early 1980s.
