The Skinner Organ Company, Opus 459 (1924)

Click here to view specifications.

Mr. Skinner’s company built its first four-manual organ in 1902 for Grace Church, New York, NY. Opus 459 in Watertown, MA is the 103rd four-manual instrument in 22 years. Of course some of those organs are large heroic organs. This one, like many others, is relatively small (34 ranks), but features four expressive divisions (Swell, Choir, Solo, Echo), nine reeds (including Skinner’s signature Tuba, English Horn, French Horn), three Celestes (two of which start at CC), and twenty-one manual ranks with 73 notes. It’s a brilliant scheme providing lots of variety of tone, and seemingly infinite contrasting combinations.

The organ is not playable - it hasn’t been used for six years - but it’s in immaculate restorable condition. Tuning scrolls are neat and intact, walkboards are clear and easy to manage, the chambers are neat and orderly showing that the instrument has always received first-class care.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you arranging your visit to this exceptional organ.

Built in 1931 at the beginning of the storied “Whitelegg Era” at Möller, this instrument is designed for both power and expression.

Time is short for this special organ. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

When you were a student at the Eastman School of Music, was the organ in Room 417 your favorite? Now’s your chance to own it. It will remind you of the trials and tribulations of preparing for lessons when you know haven’t practiced enough, and the sense of achievement when you finally mastered that gnarly passage.

If you didn’t study at Eastman, imagine all the brilliant young players who busted their knuckles on this organ. What karma!

Originally built by Roosevelt in 1892, rebuilt and enlarged by Welte-Tripp in 1931, this opulent organ is the quintessential romantic and symphonic pipe organ. With a huge range of expression from the powerful Tuba to the distant Celestes, multiple 8’ Principals, and a rich variety of solo voices, this instrument is an organist’s dream. Built by the best, expanded by the best, with a massive and gorgeous console of dramatic quarter-sawn oak.

With a thorough restoration, this organ would reclaim its place as one of the great American organs. It is without equal.

Here’s a chance to acquire a Dobson organ with no waiting list. Built in 1988, this lovely instrument is compact and versatile. It has been maintained by the builder and is in excellent condition. Don’t miss this great opportunity.

The case stands 19’- 6” tall. In floor plan it is 9’-2’’ wide by 3’-9’ deep without the pedalboard. and it is 7’ deep from the back of its case to the back of the pedalboard. There would also need to be 20” to 24” behind the case for service access (case door panels open).

The case currently has its back against a wall, but the wall is completely open behind the organ at both floor and second-floor levels. This allows access to both lower and upper-level case doors. The swell is tuned from the front, through the shades.

The blower and reservoir are located in a second-floor room behind the case, so are placed at impost level more or less. The upper level of the case is accessed from that room, so there is no self-supporting tuning walkboard at that level presently. Some modification to blower placement and its connecting wind line, as well as the addition of a second-level wallboard, will be needed if the organ is moved to a freestanding position.

Christ Church Cathedral, Cincinnati (Opus 1695), III/54 Walter Holtkamp, Sr., 1957

The asking price for this organ has just been slashed to $20,000.

This organ is one of the last, and largest, to be built by Walter Holtkamp, Sr., a leading figure in the mid-twentieth century American organ reform movement. Holtkamp was a proponent of a clean, neo-classic sound that spoke directly into the room without the assistance of a case. The organ contains 54 stops in five divisions over three manuals and a pedal board, plus a horizontal trumpet in the Spanish style, totaling roughly 4,000 pipes. Recently, a zimbelstern, or “bell star,” was added to the instrument. This organ, an icon of its time, has served the congregation for over fifty years.

Besides its obvious artistic distinction, Christ Church is where "Uncle" Gerre Hancock began his professional career.  Gerre's widow, Judy, tells us that this was his first job after studies at Union Seminary: "We were very happy there where we began our family and Gerre began his career!"  Especially notable from Gerre's time in Cincinnati was the annual Boar's Head Festival.

OCH executive director, John Bishop's, father was an Episcopal priest who grew up at Christ Church, and owned several vinyl LP's of that colorful festival, which included some of Gerre Hancock's earliest improvisations.  As a young teenager, John was in the thrall of that sound.  Imagine that.  He made it up.
