Notes

2005-06-03 - Cabinet Pipe Organ. Unified mechanical key action (Roosevelt Patent Number 340,461). -Database Manager

2005-06-03 - Online update from Robert Lockridge: I speculate that this was the "Deluxe" model as it has more stops than the "normal" ones did and a solid cherry case with an elaborate grill. It could also be 'pumped' by an assistant using a detachable lever on the right side of the case. The original swell mechanism was missing when I got it and hasn't been replaced. I rebuilt the feeders and reservoir and restored the key action. Tonal changes made by E.A. Kelley. [It appeared the pipe work was not original anyway.] -Database Manager

2005-07-09 - Online update from Robert J. Lockridge -- The 10th drawknob is "Forte." The stops drawn are selected by leather nuts. This is the right most drawknob. The windchest is a mechanical unit chest with individual valves for each pipe on universal air (i.e., no ventils). -Database Manager
