DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
While the keyboard compass was 5 octaves (61 notes), the original playable compass for the 6 ranks installed was 37-notes from tenor C to c 49. The bottom and top octaves were added later.
Jim Stettner on July 30th, 2021:
(Notes copied from a related account): Updated through online information from Carl Scott Zimmerman. -- Originally built for the McManis residence, in Kansas City, KS. It was sold to Fr. Ambrose Karels of Kansas City, MO. at unknown date. Fr. Karels later gave it to St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Kansas City, MO. This was a mechanical action, but sliderless pilot model.
