FS: Aeolian Duo-Art Organ Console and Rolls
By John Daly

I need advice on finding a home for a nice console from an Aeolian
Duo-Art pipe organ and a collection of rolls that came with it.

The console is from Aeolian 1658, which was a nine-rank organ with
eight ranks on a unified chest plus a pedal Bourdon on separate
chests.  Forty years ago I couldn't find anyone interested in the
complete organ so I sold everything but the console and rolls.

My goal was to build an electronic organ using the console so I could
enjoy the rolls.  That would actually be easier now with the various
digital options available, but I'm not going to achieve it in my
lifetime.  I also have the tracker bar and some other parts from a
Concertola.

Naturally I'd like to get some money for it, but primarily, having
carried this around with me for forty years, I'd like to find a home
rather than seeing it go to the landfill when I pass on.

I'm open to suggestions and offers.  There are photos and a brief
description at http://dalypreservation.com/AeolianOpus1658/ 

Any help will be appreciated.
