Hi all,

In the process of installing one of the 4 "Paramount" Compton 4 manual cinema organs built in the UK for theatres there.
This one was orginally a 10 rank 4 manual instrument...I am...

ebay or craigslist... hesitate to give a value... if the t12 has a FULL AGO size pedalboard it may be worth 500 to 1000 if in perfect working condition.
If it has the smaller "princess"...

thanks for that update!

i'd keep the Dulciana....its nice having a soft practice stop to play without waking up everyone at times ;)

the most imposing organ in the western hemisphere is the Aeolian Skinner at St. Mary the Virgin, in NYC. an organ matched perfectly to perfect accoustic.
