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.
