DOHERTY, W., & CO.
ROS Reg No. 6623


* From Cannington Manor Provincial Park in Saskatchewan, then moved to the basement of a residence in Regina, Saskatchewan around 1980.

* Number of reeds: 4 rows of reeds on a 6-octave keyboard (4x73), plus 13 note sub bass = 305 total reeds.
* Summary overall reed sets:
16'SB, 8', 4', 2', 2'c // 16', 8', 8'c, 4'
* Soft stops: 8', 4' // 8', 8'c
* Grand Organ engages:
16'SB, 8', 4' [not 2', 2'c] // 16', 8', 8'c [not 4']

* Tuning: around A454
* Bass/Treble reed set division at tenor E/F.
* Bass/Treble coupler division at tenor E/F.
* All stop labels missing. "Cornet" found under keyboard. Stop names are best guess based on similar organs. All stop functions traced to confirm. Two left-most stops had no connecting wires.

Penciled writing found on back of the keys:
* "1901" [matches serial number stamped on action]
* "Nov. 15/05" [does not match Oct 1907 on warranty card. This is puzzling.]
* "Sibley" [in cursive]
* "54597" [matches serial number on case]
* "35" [matches style 35 on warranty card]

Style 35 is not shown in the 1901 Doherty Catalog. Possibly a designation for the 6-octave version of the 5-octave Style 33, which also had 19 Stops. Perhaps Style 36 was the 6-octave model of Style 34?
