Bacigalupi West Coast Organ Company
By Ed Gaida

I posted a question about the West Coast Organ Company a few days ago.
What I know about the organs they made is illustrated as a new section
on my site.  You can use the regular URL http://www.txdirect.net/~egaida,
and go to the first section under the "insane" thing,  or go directly
there with:

    http://www.txdirect.net/~egaida/wcoast1.html.

Now maybe you guys on the coast can track down some more information.
The builder is Bacigalupi, and not spelled with an "o".  I know nothing
else except it will knock your socks off when it plays.

 [ Editor's note:
 [
 [ See these Digests in the Archives: 971101, 971103, 971124, 971126.
 [
 [ The Bacigalupi family in California was indeed related to the
 [ famous Bacigalupo organ-building family of Berlin.  This information
 [ comes from musicologist Peter Schuhknecht of Hannover.
 [
 [ Giovanni Bacigalupo (1847-1914) -- from Italy, the father of:
 [   Louis Bacigalupo (1870-1957) -- Known as Louis Bacigalupi when
 [     he immigrated from Berlin to California.
 [   Giuseppe Bacigalupo (1875-1922)
 [   Giovanni Bacigalupo II (1899-1989?)
 [   Luigi Bacigalupo -- Not related by blood, but he married the
 [     daughter of Giuseppe Bacigalupo and traded upon the family
 [     name, which displeased Papa Giuseppe greatly !
