Organ restorer Kent Arnold, of Long Beach, Calif., passed away recently,
and his instruments are seeking new homes soon. Instruments include:
- Chickering Ampico upright piano, refinished and restored;
- August Foster Hupfeld Phonola 73-note, unrestored, with many rolls;
- Wilcox & White Symphony player organ with many W&W and Aeolian rolls;
- Wilcox & White Angelus pushup unrestored (and parts of a second
Angelus with reeds);
- Aeolian Orchestrelle Style W, partially assembled;
- Aeolian Themodist Metrostyle push-up Pianola, unrestored;
- Möller Artiste 4-rank pipe organ with chimes (a self-contained pipe
organ, not the roll player Artiste);
- 2mp Seybold reed organ, restored, with self-contained blower;
- 2mp Mason & Hamlin "Liszt" organ, mostly there;
- 2m Schiedmayer harmonium;
- Estey Style O chapel organ with full compass 2' rank;
- Packard 6-octave parlor organ.
I played the Symphony, the Estey, the Möller, the Seybold and the
Schiedmayer. All were in decent condition but needing some attention.

I can't house instruments but I am glad to assist others in saving them.
Thanks,
