M.P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 4438 (1925)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 24 stops, 14 ranks
The Factory Specification, dated July 17, 1925, shows that this organ had a detached two-manual stop-key console, casing of plain white oak, and wind pressure of 5 inches. "Clarinet" is written next to "Cornopean" on the Great; it may be that a Clarinet was actually installed. Möller indicated that the organ was to be completed by December 1, 1925. The status of this organ as of 2008 is unknown. |
