2007-12-04 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. The school had also purchased Möller opus 4163. F. S. McGill, Headmaster, wrote on May 16, 1929, "I have had occasion to regret having placed small Estey practice organ in Penn Hall. I was urged to do this by one in whom I had confidence and who said that she had used them and that they were wholly satisfactory for practice purposes. The one we have has not proved to be so and it is possible that we might have to replace it." He further asked for dimensions of what a new organ would occupy and if Möller would take the Estey from the school and give them credit. -Database Manager
2017-11-24 - Updated by Andrew Moore, the builder.<br> This organ was removed from Penn Hall and then installed in the home of an enthusiast named Curtis Lawyer, who attached a roll player. It was then donated back to Penn Hall, which was at the time being re-fitted as a nursing home. The organ then passed to Mark Cooley, and after several attempts to find it a home as a complete instrument it is now being parted out. The chests and some pipes will be going into organist Bob Eyer's home instrument which is based on the core of the Penn Hall Auditorium Organ (Moller Opus 4163) -Database Manager
