I currently have the Tuba Mirabilis from this organ in my shop! Over
the years, some pipes were damaged and three are missing and will be
replaced. I have also built a new set of replica pipes that are going
into my Reuter Theater Organ, as they do sound wonderful!
Jacob Estey made several unique reedless pipes in his time. I have
several examples of his work to study.
