2020-11-02 - Known from a descriptive report of the dedication of the organ in Emporium, Pennsylvania. The *Cameron County Press*, February 1, 1906, p. 1. From the article, which gives the best approximation of the stoplist: "First are the strong and pervading Diapasons and Bourdons, the fundamental stops and foundation of the volume of tone. Next are the Flute tunes [sic], then the String tones and the reed tones, these stops being voiced in close imitation of the Orchestral instruments from which they are named. Besides these there are the soft Dulciana and the very soft Aeoline stops which must be heard to be appreciated. Another stop seldom heard in none but the largest organs is the Vox Humana, a reed stop of peculiar construction and artistically voiced in close imitation of the pure human voice. Another stop is the loud bold Trumpet, a reed stop, a powerful toned stop in imitation of the band Trumpet. Another of the reed stops is the Orchestral Oboe, a softer reed stop of a plaintive, mellow tone." -Paul R. Marchesano
2021-06-07 - From the same article in the *Cameron County Press, *Feb 1, 1906: "This organ is a big four manual instrument, part of it being one hundred and twenty-five feet from the player, controlled by electric action, and the organ is the builder's shop number 6." The article continues with a listing of several other "large organs". -Paul R. Marchesano
