"Burly and beautiful"
This broad-shouldered organ is an absolute knock-out. Originally built for the Unitarian Church of Keokuk, Iowa, it is now privately owned. The present owner has funded the organ’s restoration which was accomplished by widely-respected organbuilder Philip Hoenig. This is an unusual opportunity to own a colorful and bold organ from the nineteenth century, ready for another century of service.
