Here’s a full-scale heroic organ, ready for relocation. It’s foundation is the famous Austin Universal Air Chest, so it will be easiest to relocate if the width/depth footprint change be unchanged. With three pairs of celestes, and a string chorus built on Contra Viol 16’ (my favorite stop in the organ), three colorful (woodwind) reeds, and harp, this organ has an unusually colorful orchestral vocabulary.

The brilliant choruses are supported by a robust 16’ Double Open Wood Diapason, and that Contra Viol plays independently in the pedal, just the thing for clear definition of pitch in the bass line.

Augustus Bernard Felgemaker founded his company in Buffalo, NY in 1865, and later moved it to Erie, PA. German organbuilder Anton Gottfried joined the company in 1894. The company enjoyed spectacular growth, and moved several times into large facilities. After the business closed in 1917, several workers including Gottfried formed Organ Supply Industries which is still the premier supplier of parts, tools, components, and supplies to the American pipe organ industry.

This spectacular organ is a wonderful example of “Boston” organbuilding in the end of 19th century. The organ was “conserved” in 1988 by Richard Hamar including releathering the Barker Machine (!), replacing leather nuts, releathering reservoirs, cleaning and revoicing.

There are four reeds (unusually for the era) including a smashing 16’ Trombone with wood resonators, lots of variety of flute and string tone, and 16’ Flue stops on each keyboard.

This heroic organ was built for the Panama-Pacific Exposition Auditorium. It was renovated with a new console in 1963, and damaged in the earthquake of 1989. It was removed to Austin for renovation in 1991. The organ was returned to storage in San Francisco in 1996, and has remained in storage since.

The City of San Francisco will give the organ without charge to a new owner with the stipulation that it must remain intact and historically whole. (Organ Clearing House finder’s fee will apply.) This is an extraordinary opportunity for a large church, concert hall, or civic auditorium.

The original builder’s dimension drawings are available.

Organist Timothy Tikker has offered this historical commentary about this important instrument:

Timothy Tikker

The organ was built for the Festival Hall of the 1915 Panama Pan-Pacific Exposition (the photo posted here is of the Festival Hall installation; in its later home the façade was extended to either side with dummy pipes). Camille Saint-Saëns was a featured guest artist, conducting his Third Symphony, as well as a work of his own, commissioned for the occasion: "Hail, California!" Edwin Lemare was the main organist for the Expo, and continued as SF Municipal Organist for some years after. One unusual characteristic of the organ is that the Pedal is almost completely independent and not unified, which may well be due to Lemare's influence (he referred to unified Pedal divisions, which EM Skinner called "augmented," as "diminished Pedals"). After the fair the organ was relocated to the newly-built Civic Auditorium near City Hall, for which Lemare insisted that Austin perform extensive revoicing as well as some tonal changes. There it was used for many events over the years, including the American première of Marcel Dupré's Symphony in G minor for organ and orchestra, the composer as soloist. Austin replaced the console in 1963. I heard my organ teacher Ludwig Altman -- then Municipal Organist -- perform the Poulenc Concerto there, Arthur Fiedler conducting, in 1974. The SF AGO Chapter visited the organ in 1981, and I had the opportunity along with other members to play it briefly then. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake shattered a plaster wall behind the organ, severely damaging the instrument, especially the un-enclosed divisions. The organ is immense: 117 ranks, including three full-length 32' voices, two of them completely independent; wind pressures are 10", 15" and 25". The chests are of the "walk-in" type: the enclosed space under the chests is tall enough for an organ technician literally to walk into, after passing through an air-lock entrance, bringing him to direct access to the underside of the toe boards and all the chest action, this space all filled with pressured air for the pipes!

Felix Schoenstein was born and trained in Germany, and came to the United States in 1868 to work for Joseph Severin Mayer, pioneer California organbuilder. He started his own firm in 1877. The Great Earthquake and Fire in San Francisco in 1906 destroyed most of his life’s work — Opus 7 built in 1891 for St Markus Lutheran Church in San Francisco is the only survivor.

The organ was relocated to the church of SS. Peter and Paul in San Francisco in the 1940’s, and was replaced with a new Schoenstein Organ in 1986. It is now in storage in New England.

Schoenstein & Co. will donate this organ to any institution that will guarantee its tonally faithful restoration, and will provide a starter grant (minimum $25,000) to assist in its restoration and installation.

This magnificent organ boasts full-throated German Romantic choruses and a rich variety of tone color.
