My Dad, now in his 70s, remembers playing on it when he was a young boy and it was at his grandmother's home.

Since I was fascinated by it's sound, I aquired an Estey that looks exactly like it and came out of the same factory! They are great organs! Too bad Walt Disney World doesn't actually play the organ, instead a recording of Swisskapolka...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23059353.post-84557887568499172182015-07-23T17:29:00.647-07:002015-07-23T17:29:00.647-07:00Oh my golly gosh.
