Notes

2006-10-18 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was originally a stock model, 4-rank "Artiste" wwith a separate console. Ca. 1978, it was enlarged by M.P. Moller representative Charles M. Rich of Orting, Washington. He added a used set of string pipes on a home-built chest utilizing both electro-mechanical and top-note magnet actions. The pipes are a much narrower scale than the Moller Viole Dolce, but work adequately as the prepared-for Voix Celeste. The exposed Mass-Rowe chimes playable from their own keyboard are also believed to have been added at this time. -Database Manager
