Far Rockaway High School

Opus 2933

 In the face of some of the keenest competition in the history of the organ industry, the Estey Organ Company has been awarded the contract for building pipe organs for seven of the large New York City High Schools. It is one of the largest organ-building orders ever recorded in the trade, and larger than any other one contract ever negotiated by the Estey Company.
The annual sum involved in the contract is $168,000, making the cost of the seven organs average approximately $24,000 each. The specifications call for instruments identically alike for each of the seven schools, and each organ is to be equipped with auto­matic player. The contract, finally signed this month, calls for de­livery of the organs within one year from date.
When these seven Estey organs are installed, New York City schools will have embarked on a program of musical education and appreciation with organ equipment which will outrank that of any other city in the Country, but this is only a beginning of the program. Additional appropriations have been made for still further use of the pipe organ in the large high schools of the city, giving a permanent recognition to the importance of the pipe organ in school music Courses.
That the Estey instrument should be the choice of New York City experts both on the score of price and quality after six months of careful consideration, is a matter of interest and importance to other municipalities which may be considering organs for school purposes.
