Try Your Hand at Identifying the Instrument
Here are some images of Organs, organ cases, and consoles from both well-known and obscure instruments found around the world. But first, the organs or consoles shown in last month’s “Try Your Hand” were…
The Wurlitzer at the Sanfillipo Estate, Barring-ton Hills, Illinois. The nucleus of the organ, Wurlitzer opus #1571, built in 1927 for the Riviera Theatre in Omaha, has been expanded to 80 ranks of pipes.
The console of E.M. Skinner, Opus 872, Girard College Chapel, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The console of the 146-rank Aeolian organ at Longwood Gardens, Kennet Square, Pennsylvania.
A gallery organ in the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, Rome Italy, built by Giacoma Alari, 1686.
See if you can recognize any of the next batch. Answers will appear in the next edition of Overtones, along with a new set of images. Send your answers and suggested submissions for the ongoing contest to gerhardus@scronx.com . Try for the city on the last one, which doesn’t play of course.
