Dear Lew, I think you're truly amazing in every way!

You might want to try checking the Atlantic City Convention Hall's 4m/55r Kimball organ in the Ballroom. It's thought to have been the true prototype of the Music Hall organ, since both are so similar. Also, the New York City AGO chapter has interesting information on the Music Hall and Center Theatre organs. Just look for the NYC Organ Project pages.

The RCMH Wurlitzer organ is supposedly an expanded version of the 34 rank Kimball in the Roxy Theatre. Since Roxy was opening Radio City he wanted to duplicate & expand the Roxy Kimball. The original spec was drawn up by Kimball but wound up going to Wurlitzer. I can understand why George Wright wanted nothing to do with it. The 34 rank Wurlitzer that resided in the RKO (later Center) Theatre was a true late model Wurlitzer. Its console is now in the Berkeley Center.

And this is one of the MOST DIFFICULT instruments to play. Like the great tracker organs of the baroque era, the organ exacts much physical exertion from the player. In the case of Radio City, the long distance between the chamber locations poses a great challenge to the fine organists that perform there. Mr. Moelmann is a great master as was Dick Leibert.

@StuartLou its a concert organ. Its not entirely designed as a theatre organ. As I understand it, its based upon the Atlantic City 55 rank Kimball.

Herd a story from the late Dick Loderhose that when George Wright was playing at the New York Paramount in the 1940s' he was asked by the Rockefellers to try out the RCMH organ. He played it for a very short time and told them in no uncertain terms that he wanted no more to do with it. Never herd this story form him, but wouldn't doubt it.

Sorry- this is a theater organ.. let's hear THEATER ORGAN. I grew up listening to Dick Leibert at the Music Hall. Guess i'm spoiled.
