  • The Windline the Windline
    TheThe Windline Windline May 2017May – Page 2017 1 Susquehanna Valley Theatre Organ Society www.svtos.org Monday, May 8th at 7:00 PM Organ Supply Industries has its origins in two organ builders whom Erie investors encouraged to move their operations to Erie in the late 19th century. They include the Burdett Reed Organ Company, of Chi- cago, a reed organ manufacturer whose operation was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871; and the A. B. Felgemaker Organ Com- pany, originally of Buffalo, New York. The Tellers-Kent Organ Compa- ny, sprang from two Felgemaker employees in 1906. A. B. Felgemaker sent Anton Gottfried and his colleague Henry Kugel from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Erie, where they set up shop in the Felgemaker plant. The A. Gottfried Organ Company relocated to its own Erie facilities in 1905. Gottfried and Kugel had previously worked for the Haskell Company, a prominent organ manufacturer in Philadelphia. Fred Durst, of Hinners Organ Company of Pekin, Illinois, joined as superintendent of A. Gottfried Organ Company in 1917. Harry Auch and John Hallas, of the Haskell Company, came to Erie in 1920 to join Gottfried, Kugel, and Kugel's son Harry Kugel in the formation of a metal organ pipe manufacturer called National Organ Supply. Durst and Henry Kugel's sons Harry and Ruben Kugel formed Organ Supply Corpo- ration in 1924. The pipe manufacturing company was purchased by Organ Supply Corporation in 1958. Fred Gluck purchased the Organ Supply Corporation in the early 1970s and merged it with Durst and Company to form Durst Organ Supply Company, Incorporated.

  • Charles F. Durner Organs by ROBERT BRUCE WHITING Eugene M
    0 Copyright 1965 by The Organ Historical Society, Inc. Volume X FALL - 1965 Number 1 Charles F. Durner Organs By ROBERT BRUCE WHITING Eugene M. McCracken has written an authori­ tative account of the organ-building Durner fami­ ly of Quakertown, Penna. His history of the Dur­ ners, published in the Summer, 1964 issue of THE TRACKER, Vol. VIII, No. 4, states that Charles Friedrick Durner (1838-1914) built organs from 1859 until his death and that his son, Charles Edward Durner (1863-1932) continued the busi­ ness until his death. In 1932, Paul Fritzsche, an employee and distant relative of Charles E. Durn­ er, bought out the business and still continues to build and repair organs in AUentown, Penna., as the successor to C. E. Durner. This article is a supplement to Eugene Mc­ Cracken's account and describes some other Charles F. Durner tracker-action organs. The old Goshenhoppen Union Church in Wox­ all, Penna., had an 1890 C. F. Durner organ, which cost $1600.00 at that time. This organ was rebuilt and electrified by Paul Fritzsche in the early 1950's, but the case is original. Fortunately, the church has preserved the old console in a school house at the rear (If the church building. The organ had two manual/, and pedal with a reversed console. A large metal nameplate on the console reads: C. F. DORNER Builder CHARLES F. DURNER Quakertown, Pa. And the stoplist was: the organ can be played partiaUy. Judging by the case and specifications, it was built around 1900: GREAT SWELL 8' Open Diapason 8' Stopped Diapason GREAT SWELL 1 8' Melodia 8' Viola 8' Open Diapason 8 Geigen Principal 8' Dulciana 4' Flute Harmonic 8' Melodia 8' Stopped Diapason 4' Principal 8' Oboe 8' Dulciana 8' Salicional 4' Open Flute 8' Bassoon (Bass of Oboe) 4' Principal 8' Aeoline (Ch-imes - later addition) Tremolo 4' Flute d'Amour 8' Oboe Gamba 2' Piccolo 4' Flute Harmonic PEDAL COUPLERS Tremolo 16' Bourdon S-P, S-G, G-P PEDAL COUPLERS The organ had 58 notes on the manuals and 27 16' Bourdon S-P, S-G, G-P notes on the pedals.

  • Pipe Organ Projects (Present to 1981)
    Pipe Organ Projects (Present to 1981) First Presbyterian in Bowling Green, KY Project Completed 2016 Before pipe shades After pipe shades We were contracted by Mr. Tom Moody at the First Presbyterian Church in Bowling Green, KY., to construct pipe shades for his façade. After taking detailed measurements, the five individual pieces were laid out on cardboard. The design was copied from the existing casework. We used Mahogany wood to match the case. The shades are like a grid, with vertical stiles and little horizontal pieces. There were four hundred horizontal pieces in total. We installed ¼” dowels into each end of the horizontals. It was time consuming and tedious, so Jeff took the pieces home and glued them while watching TV. We also added two botonee Crosses to the outside shades which copied the front window of the church. The project went very well and now the organ looks complete. Specifications Aeolian/Skinner 1973 The last instrument built with the Aeolian-Skinner name tag on it.
