2025-05-27 - Apparently the Tellers replaced the 1911 Hinners previously installed in this location. From Andrew Henderson, 5/26/25: I don't know what to say about the Hinners list discrepancy. I found the relevant pages again in the Carnegie files, and it says $1,150 was paid out in 1911, which was the amount quoted by the church in the correspondence for the cost of a Hinners organ to be shipped from Pekin, for which they could put $300 down to order it. So, according to this it seems unlikely that the organ came from somewhere other than the factory. There's a chance, however, that the church decided to change builders at the last minute and it's not noted. (Jim S., Editor: The Hinners was installed in the 1909 edifice on Ontario Street. The Tellers was installed in the 1929 edifice on Woodward Street. 2025-06-08). From Mark Smith, 5/25/25: The instrument was originally hand-pumped tubular pneumatic. (I suspect the Tellers work consisted of replacing the bellows with a regulator and blower. However, they left the action as-is other than perhaps changing the wind pressure to 4". The Dulciana TC pipe has this inscription: 'Revoiced 4" W'). There were tubular couplers, a blind tubular combination action (settable inside the case), and a tubular crescendo pedal. The 3 Great ranks were Open Diapason, Melodia, and Dulciana. The 3 Swell ranks were Stop Diapason, a String, and a 4' Flute Harmonic. The Dulciana had a Quintadena bass mounted in the facade (along with the O.D. basses). The tubular action worked with bleeds, and was unreliable with temperature and humidity changes. Perhaps the wind pressure change was an attempt to deal with this. The chests were ventil with rectangular note pneumatics. -Paul R. Marchesano
This is a rebuild/relocation of Tellers opus 135 originally installed at St Anthony’s Croatian Church, Farrell, PA from 1917-1939. At that time, they built a new church and Tellers took the organ back and sold it to OLMC in 1942 as Opus 675. Accessories: Tremolo, Wind Indicator, Crescendo, Electric Blower, Organ Bench. 135 and 675 had identical specifications. The Dulciana TC pipe has this inscription: 'Revoiced 4" w 1944 sc 1/5 55". Opus 675 remained until OLMC closed in 2008, at which time it was purchased for installation in a private residence in Webster, NY. Source: Taken from Contract for opus 135
