2018-07-15 - Updated by Steven Bartley, who maintains the organ.<br>\r\nThis writer serviced this organ several times in 1979-80 and carried out a cleaning. At that time it still contained all of its 1908 parts except the key action had been electrified. The manual chests were of the much despised bar design, and they were difficult. A small reservoir (I think original) was dedicated to refilling the blisters in the chest action as there was no individual note springs. As the note leather (blisters) got older and worn more weight had been applied to the reservoir to insure the pipes would shut off when the key was released. This resulted in a reverse chiff or hiccup. The tone was very grand and quite clean, though the large room was heavily carpeted. The string pipes were of very thin spotted metal and the feet had collapsed on many of those pipes. A shame it is gone.... though the chests were its major downfall. -Database Manager
