I bought this organ from a classified ad about 1982 when living in Norfolk, VA. The folding chair came with it. The organ needed some repairs; reservoir and exhausters re-covered, which I was able to carry out. It plays well. Tuned at A=441, close to modern pitch, it was able to be used as a continuo instrument in a performance of Handel's "Messiah" about 20 years ago. I used it in my home to help with sight-singing harmony in choral parts. A few years ago I gave the organ away to a friend.
