In 2000, the 100th anniversary of Steamboat Springs' incorporation and in in honor of our town's founding father James Crawford and his family, I was asked to check over this instrument and make any repairs if needed. I found it to be in sound playable condition due to the fact that it had been well cared for and hadn't been played much since our museum acquired it. I don't recall seeing a serial number or recording it.
At the time, 19 years ago, I was oboist with our Steamboat Symphony Orchestra. I had thoughts of wanting to incorporate this organ into a piece with the orchestra as part of our town's centenary celebrations only to find it's tuned at A=452, not A-440, which orchestras tune to!
