Notes

2006-06-06 - Identified through information from Jeff Scofield. Enlargement of 1957 Schantz. -Database Manager

2007-02-03 - This console is particularly interesting because of the reed organ treadles to each side of the swell/crescendo pedals. A first-and-only, as far as I know. The organist had a reed organ hooked up so that, if the power went out, he could use the reed organ from the Schantz console. There was a write-up by the organist in the July 1962 issue of <i>The Diapason</i> about this. Most unusual. Plus, I believe this is the only three-manual Schantz console with stops on rocker tablets in side jambs. -Database Manager
