Dr. Brinkley's Pipe Organ in Del Rio TX
By Ed Gaida

If memory serves, and it frequently doesn't, the pipe organ in the
Brinkley residence in Del Rio was made by the Reuter Organ Company of
Lawrence, Kansas, and it did indeed have a player mechanism.

According to the man who removed the instrument from the building, it
had nine ranks of pipes and a player mechanism.  He could not remember
what happened to the player, and the organ chests and pipes have been
used in various "new" installations in Texas.

Hope this helps.
