M.P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 1342 (1912)
Tubular-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 11 stops, 6 ranks
The Agreement (Dec. 12, 1911) between M.P. Möller and "The R.C. Slovak Church" in Brooklyn states that Möller would build a two-manual organ for a consideration of $1,400. Möller used tubular-pneumatic action to control six ranks of pipes on a duplex chest. The casing was of the best quartered oak finished in hard oil, with the Pedal pipes forming the sides of the case. Möller indicated that the organ would be "complete and ready for use on or before the first day of March, 1912 or as soon thereafter as possible." The organ was shipped by rail on March 15, 1912. |
