movable console

The organ is called "Miller Organ" because
it was donated by the Miller Brewing Company.
The whole organ is mounted on an elevator.
When not in use, it can be lowered into a
large pit (28' deep, 42' long, 10.5' wide;
i.e. 8,53 m x 25 m x 3,20 m). It's one of
the largest objects ever located
on a single piston elevator.

1982-84 the organ was renovated by the Austin
Organ Company from Hartford, CT. Organ consultants
were James Burmeister and Calvin Hampton.
(several reeds rebuilt; GT and PE fluework revoiced and
rescaled; windpressure of GT raised from 3" to 4",
i.e. 76 mm -> 102 mm); new, Solid State combination action added)

The reverberation time of the concert hall is about 2 sec.
