2019-04-06 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. <br>Identified by James R. Stettner, listing this web site as a source of information: http://www.bondorgans.com/instruments#/sullivan-residence.<br>The visual design by Roberta Bond is in the Arts and Crafts style. The case has been executed in quarter-sawn white oak, with inlays of boxwood, pear, ebony and mother-of-pearl. Twenty-nine pipes of the 4’ Principal, of 28% tin, make up the display. Stop knob faces and the builder’s nameplate are engraved in a typeface by Frank Lloyd Wright. Though the organ’s intended use did not require an independent pedal stop, the compact layout left enough room (theoretically, at least) for a 16’ Sub Bass. In May 2005 this final stop was ordered. Thirty wood pipes were constructed in the Bond shop and then fitted on site in October. When the ventil stop action is engaged, a central action box behind the pedal keys feeds wind to pipes in four different locations within the case, including the underside of the roof.
