ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
From: Ken Evans, June 1998
RTOS installed a Wurlitzer 3/8 (opus 1492) in the 400-seat
Eisenhart Auditorium located on the campus of the Rochester Museum &
Science Center (RMSC). It was dedicated and presented to the RMSC on Columbus Day
(quite suitable for an opus 1492) in 1978. This instrument, which
originally came
from the Capitol Theater in Worcester, Massachusetts, has now been
expanded to 12 ranks. The most recent addition, in December 1996, was a
61-pipe
Clarinet rank. This instrument has been used for dance parties,
Mardi Gras celebrations, Halloween parties, pizza parties and other fun
events. The RMSC
and RTOS have jointly produced elementary school age education
programs on this instrument. This instrument was used for regularly
scheduled
membership concerts for almost two years while the 4-manual
Auditorium Center console was completely refurbished.
