It is to be restored with its original console, and will share quarters with the 1955 Aeolian-Skinner from Finney Chapel at Oberlin. Both organs will be restored independently and, in addition to their own rebuilt individual consoles, will be able to be played by a new 5-manual master console. -Database Manager
