Notes

2009-01-13 - Identified through information from Jeff Scofield: -- "Here is the factory spec for 10159. As you can see by the paragraph on the first page, it was a new instrument retaining 11 ranks and Chimes from the 1954 3/21 Reuter Op. 1091. (I have the Reuter stoplist). Nine of the retained ranks were used in the Moller Pedal; the tenth rank is the Great Trumpet. The eleventh rank is not indicated in the Moller specs.<br><br> What's interesting to see are the origins of the ranks making up the II Cornet in the Pedal. The 5 1/3' rank says 'new,' but the 3 1/5' rank says '9951,' which was a 1964 organ for First Congregational Church in Waterbury, CT. I wonder if that was a rank that was built but not used, for some reason. " -Database Manager
