59-key Gasparini Organ Played in San Francisco
By Jesse Kohl

Matthew,  In regard to your post on MMD 10.06.26 regarding 59-key
Gasparini organ played in San Francisco, there is a picture on the
following web site that may be of help identifying it.  I stumbled
across it yesterday -- what serendipity!  Go to the link below and
scroll down to the picture with the caption "10. SUTRO BATHS. INTERIOR
LOOKING NORTH." Adolph Sutro & Ladies of National Medical Convention,
June 8, 1894 John Hall Collection.

Then, click on the picture itself to enlarge it.  The organ is on the
back (north wall) of the baths in the cove (two windows on the left and
one on the right).  I would be interested in knowing if this is indeed
the same organ.

Best regards,
Jesse Kohl
