DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Jim Lewis. -- According to Louis Schoenstein (Memoirs of a San Francisco Organ Builder, Pgs. 190-93) his father, Felix Schoenstein, replaced all of the 1872 pipework, "which was in bad condition", with all new pipework in 1909. In 1968, the organ was reconfigured and revoiced to make it into a "Baroque" instrument. There is probably very little left of the original Joseph Mayer organ.
