8/29/26 UPDATE: The organ has been claimed and is already in its new home.

Hello all, we are hoping to find a new home for this Estey organ. Below you'll find the specifications of the organ. We are helping a friend of a friend, so please message us with any questions. Serious inquiries only please.

Two Manual Estey reed organ available. No cost for the sale; the taker is to assume removal costs. The organ needs to be claimed by September 15, 2026, and removed no later than September 29, 2026. The organ is available until it is claimed and the taker assures its timely removal and good care for the instrument.

Two 61-note keyboards, 30-note pedalboard. The organ has been electrified, and wind is provided by a Spencer Orgoblo Junior installed inside a box, located in the home’s basement.

Approximate dimensions: console 52” deep with pedalboard; 28” deep without pedalboard; 66-1/2” wide, 60-1/2” high. Blower box: 19” deep, 26” wide; 25-1/2’ high including a cart (for aeration?) underneath. (Cart is 5” high.)

Specifications:
Swell: Harp Aeolienne 2’, Salicional 8’, Oboe 8’, Flute 4’, Bourdon 16’, Swell to
Great; Vox Humana, Octave Coupler
Great: Open Diapason 8’ Clarionet 16’, Dulciana 8’, Trumpet 8’
Pedal: Swell to Pedal; Great to Pedal; Open Diapason 16’, Stop’d Diapason 16’

The owner believes this organ to have been built around 1920, and it previously served a church. The organ appears to have been electrified and the Junior Orgelblo blower purchased in 1974. The organ appears to be fully functional, but there may be a minor issue with the Vox Humana.

This is a beautiful instrument that appears to have much life left in it and needs a new caring home.
