Notes

2008-09-07 - Identified through on-line information from jim lewis. -- A two-manual unit organ of four ranks: Diapason, Flute Ouverte, String and Oboe. This was a stock model instrument available in a cabinet with either detached or attached console. This organ has a detached console with rocker tablets above the top keyboard. The pipework is contained in a wooden cabinet with mechanical expression shades along the front portion. There is a crescendo pedal, expression pedal, but no combination aids. The blower is in a separate room. -Database Manager
