GENERAL NOTES The console shell is a 3-manual scale copy of the custom ebony "deco" design used for the Music Hall's auditorium consoles. The console was on a moveable platform. Chambers were side by side covered by a decorative black wooden screen of "deco" design. Windchests are chromatic. According to Music Hall organist Ray Bohr, the couplers were added after installation.
The Saxophone:
Bohr, Music Hall organist Jack Ward, and Warren Westervelt, who was in charge of the rebuild in the late sixties, noted at different times that the Tibia Plena was exchanged for the Saxophone from the auditorium organ sometime after installation because of recording/broadcast overmodulation problems.
This led to the unusual situation of the big organ for years having two Tibia Plena ranks (the big organ's is called "Melophone" on the stop tabs) in the same chamber. These ranks were returned to their correct instruments in 1970 during the rebuild of the big organ.
