Re piano-organs: I tuned one in Phoenix for several years. It was a story and Clark, #247734. The tilt out bottom board had 25 lbs of tubes and rheostats and whatever on it, I think there was a speaker in it also. Above the keys was a board of different stops that could be set, and - I cannot remember if it had an extra set of keys up there for the organ, I dont think so, but the boards that normally hold the music rack were just loaded with cables of fine wires. Real pain in the neck to get into. There was a fold down paddle that would swell the sound when the organist pushed it with his knee to the right. Looked like an impressive factory installation, not aftermarket at all. I Think the piano keys doubled as the organ keys, but I cannot remember. Bill Simon Phoenix
