Available: Tom Hutchinson's player pipe organ for free
I'm Bob Stout, treasurer of the Heart of America chapter of AMICA.
One of our long-time members, Tom Hutchinson, passed away last June.
The bulk of his collection was sold seven years ago, but there is
still a Wangerin 2 manual, 6 rank player pipe organ free for the
hauling. Go to the MMD Archives and search for the Tom Hutchinson
article he posted July 5, 2017, about his collection for sale:

All that's left is the organ plus an Aeolian push-up player that
was not included on the list. If you click on the YouTube link in his
listing you will see a video of the instrument playing:

In 2010, Tom, Bill Klinger and myself rebuilt the organ and attached
a PianoCorder player piano to it so they play together. While the organ
will play with regular 88 note rolls, Bill installed a MIDI system to
expand its capabilities. Tom, Bill and I wrote an article for the AMICA
bulletin that appeared in the July/August 2011 Bulletin on pages
246-251. You can read this article if you have access to the AMICA
archives online.
This organ is located 12 miles north of Columbia, Missouri. It is on
the ground floor. The console is large and requires double doors for
moving it. Tom's son David is anxious to have this instrument removed.
