This practice organ was built with two contrasting foundation stops for the practice of the majority of the organ literature. The lower manual has a tapered, open wood flute to balance the stopped hammered metal set on the upper manual. Both stops share a common bass octave of stopped wood. The wind is regulated by a large, double-rise wedge reservoir. The entire instrument is contained in a casework of quartersawn black ash hardwood. The piano-scale keyboards relate to each other and the pedalboard in a standard modern arrangement.
The instrument was built as the third in a series of four similar practice organs. Sister instruments are installed in residences in Neenah and Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin and Richardson, Texas.
