2014-07-14 - Updated through online information from Robert Scarborough. -- I played this Austin occasionally in the 1960s. I do not believe it to have 11 ranks; rather I remember it as a 2/4, with a pedal bourdon extension, and full unification, with most stops at unison, requiring much use of the couplers and playing 8va. Fan tremulant, due to Universal Windchest. "Footstrong" swell, rev. hitchup pedal for "Gt to Ped". Obviously, Hope-Jones had left his unification ideas strongly upon Austin at the time. Three all-mechanical combo pistons (generals) in swell keyjamb using wood dowels; at times, they would work, if the humidity was right. I seem to remember a melodia and rather cute orchestral oboe, the unit reed rank. Horrid for hymnody; due to the overabundance of unison tone and rather dry acoustics. One of the very earliest Austin electric actions. Instrument is proof that Austins are nothing if not rugged and reliable. -Database Manager
