PACKARD ORGAN CO.
ROS Reg No. 6981


This organ has the most superior stop mechanism I’ve ever seen. The physics and engineering of the stops are simple but super functional. This organ plays very well.

This organ still plays beautifully.
The case is solid walnut and has been refinished.
The original top has been replaced with a flat solid walnut top and
walnut music stand.
The felts and leathers have been replaced for each note.

This organ has 6 octaves.
