Notes: Although originally slated to be installed
above the ceiling, the organ eventually found its home in a chamber
at the rear of the stage. Drawing from experience gleaned
from the two recent installations for
the Detroit and Philadelphia orchestras, Joseph Whiteford placed the organ
on a platform 12 feet above the stage in a chamber 50 feet wide, 11 feet
deep, and 27 feet high. As a result of these space restrictions, the
lowest 5 pipes of the wooden 32' Kontra Geigen were mitred. Photo #2 Source: Fred Swann Organ Historical Society Database: https://pipeorgandatabase.org/OrganDetails.php?OrganID=35680 |
