Notes

2013-08-15 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in David Junchen's <em>The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, An Illustrated History</em> p. 642. -- The Wurlitzer company records show opus 800, a stock, 5-rank residential model, was installed at the Savoy in May 1925, but moved to a Philadelphia residence just a month later. Maybe this was a demonstration for the theatre - in hopes that it would lead to a sale. (It didn't.) One source says the organ was repossessed from the Savoy, but that seems unlikely in only a month's time. -Database Manager
