STORY & CLARK
ROS Reg No. 5869


Located in South Africa. Label on fall board is definitely a stencil. Research shows that Riegelhuth & Sons was a sole agent for Story & Clark as well a other unknown american builders. Even though there are considerable differences from S&C made entirely in Chicago. There are enough similarities to regfister the organ as a Story & Clark. The differences can be explained by: When certain items were imported in assembled form the import taxes were normally higher than on semi-completed items. For this reason organs imported by Riegelhuth & Sons may have been shipped in either semi-kit form or with some parts unassembled. The treadles, the metal strips over the lower keyboard dampers, even the cases may have differed slightly and also the stop arrangements to suit the local market.
