PRESENT CONDITION
There is little sign of wind leaking in the main reservoir or the conveyances. There is however some running on the swell soundboard, especially in the treble register. There is very little running on the great soundboard.
All the action is fairly noisy: re-bushing, re-felting, and a clean and overhaul is desirable.
This is a pleasant sounding instrument but not a particularly good one. However, it deserves a new home.
