Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, VT c. 1875 Derrick & Felgemaker portable (Stoplist from the museum description via Bruce Cornely, PIPORG-L 29 Sep 1997) The three 8' stops, which begin on Tenor F and have a common bass of 17 stopped wood pipes, are operated by knobs on the right of the manual. The bass pipes are permanently on (which makes the tning of the organ a bit difficult), and the lowest 11 pipes are placed horizontally at the rear of the chest. The Celestina Bass has 17 stopped wood pipes pitches at 4', which brightens the bass somewhat. Two of the stops are of excellent "spotted metal," and the tone of the organ is adequate, bright, and satisfying, through it is much louder when the top is raised and the decorative front removed. The stoplist: Open Diapason 8' 44 open metal pipes Gambe 8' 44 open metal pipes Flute 8' 44 stopped wood pipes Celestina Bass 4' 17 stopped wood pipes An 8' bass of 17 stopped wood pipes is permanently on Pedal coupler Harmonic octave coupler
