Notes

2013-02-05 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Will Dunklin, using information found in David Junchen's "The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, an Illustrated History.". -- This was a stock Style B: Flute, Salicional, Vox Humana, Trumpet, Xylophone, Chimes, Glockenspiel and toy counter. All installed in one chamber. There were 2 tremulants: Main and Vox. The theatre was renamed "OKLA" and extensively remodeled in the 1930's. The organ was likely removed at that time. -Database Manager
