Due to the owner having a debilitating stroke, resulting in now being
wheelchair-bound, this instrument has become available for sale. It was
originally constructed using an "experienced" Slider Chest and re-voiced
pipework as a low-cost residence "Practice Machine" for the original
owner. Now that he is unable to play, he is very anxious to see to it
that this instrument continues its life in the hands of an appreciative
new owner who would use it for practice purposes to the extent that he
did. Professional re-location and repair services are available from the
original builder (that's us!) and arrangements could possibly be made to
"audition" the instrument in its current home in north central Indiana.
There are some damaged treble pipes that will need to be repaired or
replaced and this can be arranged through our shop in conjunction with its
relocation. Suitable pipes for the Krummhorn stop may be available from our
warehouse as well.
Please see the web page for OPUS VI for photos of the instrument.
The voicing is typical of what was in vogue in the early 1980's, but was gently done, since this was a residence installation. This organ would be a suitable practice machine for a residence, or could carry itself respectably in a small church or chapel.
Asking $8,000.00 O.B.O., plus the costs of dismantling, moving and any necessary repairs.
