The console has been updated to midi and presently plays on a virtual organ (Hauptwerk). In addition, we have two of the ranks updated to Midi and playing – the Flutes and Cellos. The flutes and cellos can be played by themselves or in conjunction with the virtual organ. The three regulators have been rebuilt and are in good condition. The blower is a 1HP blower in working condition. The organ comes with wind trunk and hoses. However, the organ will need rebuilding of the chests and should be considered a complete rebuild. Not shown in the pictures, but included, are the swell frame, shutters and activator( in good condition)

Barton organs are well known for their theater organs. They did make a few church organs and we have been told by organ builders that this is one of the rarer Barton Church Organs. It was originally installed by D.S. Wentz, Chicago, IL at the following location in 1921:


St. Genevieve
Chicago, IL



We have updated the console to Midi controlled and are using controllers to activate the pipes.  We are using Artisan Instruments Rank Drives and controllers.

We have a total of 522 pipes. This is the best description we have been able to develop.
