JK JunkedAttention!
This information is only a starting point from the very beginning.... delivery of the instruments to a location from the factory. What happened to all these glorious instruments after that is widely unknown. With the help of readers, we hope to find the current disposition of many of these instruments. Most have simply been lost to the ages. If you know of any additions, corrections, current status updates, etc. regarding any theatre pipe organs then Please Email Us so we can update this database and keep it as accurate as possible.CREDITS
