2017-05-07 - Organ sold at unknown time to George Orbits, Detroit, Michigan, who was a major supporter of the Detroit Theatre Organ Society (DTOS). The organ was kept from 1961-62 in the Iris Theatre in Detroit. In 1963, the DTOS acquired the Senate Theatre and installed the organ there. -Database Manager

2017-05-07 - "The Fisher brothers enjoyed light classical music and found pleasure occasionally playing the organ in their church. Therefore this theater organ is a mix of theater and classical specifications so that the brothers could find it easy to play should they desire. The stop rail layout is like no other, with the stop tablets arranged by chamber rather than by voice." <i>Detroit Theatre Organ Society website</i> -Database Manager
