2013-05-29 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by John Speller, using information found in Orlando Worth Stephenson, <em>Ann Arbor: The First Hundred Years</em> (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Library, 2005), p. 95.. -- "Mr. D[avid]. F. Allmendinger [Superintendent of the Ann Arbor Organ Company] built and installed for the members a fine organ. It was in place and ready for use December 4, 1876, at which time an organ concert was given by George N. Lovejoy and Professor Frieze, of the University. The organ cost about $1,300, was sixteen feet in height, nine and a half feet in width and had fourteen stops." <br>[This is one of three pipe organs known to have been built by the Ann Arbor Organ Co., who mostly built reed organs and pianos. David F. Allmendinger apprenticed with his father-in-law Gottlieb Friedrich Gaertner (who had apprenticed to E. F. Walcker in Ludwigsburg, Germany) before founding the Ann Arbor Organ Co. in 1872.] -Database Manager
