Main chamber with 16' wood
diaphones on the back wall. Chrysoglott
with metal bars above
the classical chest.
       
Reservoirs/regulators used on Main Organ. 14 Tremulants throughout the instruments. A view of the main chamber showing the rank classical division below the Chrysoglott. Here's a view of the 30-foot wide by 18-foot deep organ chamber. Custom built for the Music Hall Albee Wurlitzer: there's an iron grille in front of the open expression shades. The top center ornament is from the Albee Theatre. A yellow 6-foot ladder gives perspective as to the size of the instrument. Note: the grille is under construction. This is a view of the Music Hall Ballroom, set up for either a business meeting, wedding, or any number of events. The chamber is in the center with the display room on the right side.
