THE ORGAN LOFT'S WURLITZER
The story of THE ORGAN LOFT is
the story of the late Lawrence Bray. A
story of one man's dedication to the restoration and preservation of the Theatre
Pipe Organ.
His passion for pipe organs began
as a young man, when he heard and met
George Wright and Gaylord Carter performing on the Wurlitzer at the San Francisco Fox Theatre.
Intrigued with the sound of the
organ, he determined he would search for
old theatre organs in Utah. His first acquisition in 1946 was the Utah Theatre's
Robert Morton, which he installed in his
uncle's chicken coop in Salt Lake City.
Later additions included the organs from Salt Lake City's Gem Theatre
and Ogden's Egyptian Theatre.
These additions required the continual remodeling and enlargement of the
chicken coop until 1956, when he sold the
majority of the installation and purchased
the 3 manual-19 rank Wurlitzer with two
consoles from the New York Staten Island
Paramount.
Lawrence combined the two consoles to build today's Colossus five keyboard console with 378 stop tabs, which
controls today's 2,400 highly unified
pipes.
THE ORGAN LOFT is the home of
a one-of-a-kind historical treasure thanks
to the dream of Lawrence Bray, and the
continuation of the operation by his
nephew, Larry Bray.
