(Note: "3"=2-2/3'; "e"=ensemble; "p"=pizzicato; "t"=2nd touch)

The tuned percussions (except for the Chrysoglott) were located in their own chamber with its own expression. The String Ensemble composition is
not known at this time. There appears to have been *no* Tierce stop at all. All 6 string ranks
were available separately in the Pedal; there was no "Cello" stop. The difference, if any, between the "String" and "Solo String" ranks is not
clear; it is *possible* that the only difference was one of placement, similar to the two "String" ranks on the Publix #1, except that here the
celeste ranks are also provided.

(This stoplist, not without some obvious errors, appears in "Jesse Crawford, Poet of the Organ; Wizard of the Mighty Wurlitzer", by John W. Landon.

*(Note from Michael Coup) "I was just looking at that spec., and see a speculation that it had a Steinway grand. It did not. The piano was a Wurlitzer grand, probably 5' 8" or so. We got it when we bought the downstairs organ in 1968. It had been moved to the theatre at some time in its history, not connected to the organ, but Dick Simonton knew where it was, and had it shipped to LA with the organ. Unfortunately, it burned in the same fire that destroyed the console back in 1968. But it was a Wurlitzer piano.
