1974 Gabriel Kney Pipe Organ Opus 70

This is a three rank, two manual mechanical action organ with a 32 note AGO pedalboard. It was originally installed at the University of Windsor and was designed as a teaching and practice instrument. It has been restored to near new condition.  The keyboards have been re-bushed to eliminate side to side movement.  Lost motion in the key action has been restored.  Winchest pallet springs were re-tensioned to provide original weight of touch.  The pedalboard has been overhauled. It is currently in Windsor ON.  It will fit within an eight foot foot ceiling clearance.

The upper three octaves of the 4' Rohrflöte were originally a bit on the loud side when it was at the University of Music School of Music.  It has been regulated down to a much more agreeable volume level.  The open toe pipes can be re-regulated by a voicer to provide a louder volume suitable for a larger room or a small chapel.
