DETAILS
Exhibited in the 1964, 2011 OHS convention(s)
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This is the only 3-manual tracker-action organ remaining in the Washington area. It
was overhauled and cleaned several years ago by the local Newcomer Organ Co., at
which time the reeds were revoiced by M. P. Moller. The swell box has vertical
shades and stands above the uninclosed choir division, which is on the same level as
the great. The lowest 24 notes of the great have tracker-pneumatic action. Case pipes
are great 1 6' open diapason, and this rank has a stopped-wood bass. The doppel
flute has no metal trebles. Each reed rank has 9 open metal trebles. The piccolo is
harmonic except for its lowest octave. The flue d'amour is of stopped wood with 22
open metal trebles. Basses of the dulciana are offset. -- 1964 OHS Handbook
