Notes

2004-10-30 - Builder's Nameplate: attr. Emil Witzman -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1984. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Renovated Berghaus Organ Co. 1982. -Database Manager

2017-05-03 - Updated by Larry Bunce, who maintains the organ.<br> I worked on this instrument c. 1975 as an employee of the Berghaus ORGAN Co. One clue as to the builder was a shipping label inside the case that said it was shipped from Boston via American Express. I would presume that it was built by an organ supply house and installed by a local tuner/repairman.<br> A clever adaptation made when an electric blower was added was that the blower switch was operated from the drawstop labeled "Bellows Signal." -Database Manager
