Hi, Jody,  This past Fall I visited the Strong Museum in Rochester,
New York.  They have a newly placed Stinson band organ there.  The
organ sits in a huge, high atrium next to a small restored carousel
that they offer rides on.  I believe they had the organ built for them
recently (in 1997).  Here's a couple of photos I shot of it (they
wouldn't let me move the railing out of the way).

Alan Mueller told me that they played it when they first got it, but
that the museum's workers whose offices are also in the atrium were
being driven nuts, so in general, it's not played (I didn't get to hear
it -- there's prerecorded band organ music played for the carousel).

Alan said it's a sweet sounding organ and that they had it built on a
cart with the idea of bringing it outside during the summer to play.
I can imagine that, indoors, in that big echo-y atrium, it wouldn't
sound quite so good.

Two JPEG images of this small organ are attached.  I'm using a new
mailer to you, so if you can't directly read these attachments, please
let me know, and I'll re-send "the old fashioned way" -- UUencoded unix
mail.

 [ The images came through with base64 encoding.  I'll ask Jody
 [ to place them at the MMD web site.  -- Robbie
