Provenance of this beautiful organ: My parents acquired this organ in 1948. They purchased it from a family who ended up stranded in Duchesne, Utah. The family encountered major auto problems while relocating with all of their belongings. The family was forced to sell some of their stuff for cash. The family apparently sold the mirror from the top of this organ first. My parents bought the organ when the father came begging to our home. The organ was placed in my parents’ living room. My father played this organ almost daily. I have many fond memories of Dad playing songs and singing for us kids! When my parents passed, I inherited it. The organ was transported from Duchesne to north-central Idaho in 1998. It has been in my living room since. So, since 1948 this organ has been indoors and cared for.
