Messiah Universalist Church Philadelphia, PA 1889 Frank Roosevelt, Op. 439 (Stoplist: David Schnute from T 10:3:2) GREAT 8' Open Diapason 8' Doppel Flöte 8' Salicional 4' Gemshorn SWELL 8' Violin Diapason 8' Stopped Diapason 8' Dolce 4' Harmonique Flute 8' Oboe PEDAL 16' Bourdon Tremulant "The above specification is typical of may small Frank Roosevelt organs. It shows the trend in tonal design near the end of the nineteenth century. When this type of specification was applied to even smaller instruments, with some ranks having the later Frank Roosevelt heavy voicing, an organ was produced with a really miserable ensemble".
