WEBB: Cabinet Organ March, on Shoninger parlor organ

The Cabinet Organ March (1879) by Frank R. Webb. Performed by Michael Hendron on a Shoninger parlor organ, built in New Haven, Connecticut in the early 1880s. This is Shoninger's Orchestral Cymbella model with three full ranks of reeds plus a 30-note nest of bells (the Cymbella), all in a splendid Renaissance Revival case of solid American black walnut. The instrument has not been restored, but remains in very good original condition. It is in the private collection of Jim Tyler, who restores reed organs professionally in San Francisco. Recorded in his home 30 January 2010. This march has been re-printed in the Manufacturers Music Album, a compilation of twelve pieces dedicated to American reed organ builders; it is available through the Reed Organ Society at www.reedsoc.org.
