ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

From: Terry Hochmuth, Jan. 2007 (in relation to the George Wright Pasadena Studio organ)

Of interest to me was the Brass Saxophone that was marked as being from Sandy Balcom in Seattle.  I recall talking with Sandy about that many years ago and am fairly sure that it was the set from the Rialto Theatre in Tacoma, WA.  That was a Style 35 (2 6-note manuals and an abbreviated solo manual).  The main chest was a standard unit chest - 9 ranks all on one chest - it was almost a perfect square when we set it on its side and H-E-A-V-Y!!  The solo chest on that organ was 6 ranks and, I believe, was a pitman.  When we removed the organ from Haller Lake Methodist Church in Seattle in the early 1970s, the Sax set that was on the chest was an Estey labial set - the brass was long gone.
