Facade of Jardine organ

This instrument was first installed in the Presbyterian Church of Clarksville, TN around 1860 by the renowned New York firm of George Jardine. Later it found several other homes in churches and residences from Nashville to Berkeley, California. In 2001, after meticulous restoration by Lee T. Lovallo Pipe Organs, it was returned to its original home in Clarksville.

Specification: 1 manual of 54 notes, 7 stops: Stopped Diapason Bass, Stopped Diapason Treble, Open Diapason (TF), Octave, Fifteenth, Flute (4'), Clariana (TF), Dulciana (TF). The center panel of the facade, as well as the crenelations and towers, was missing and was recreated by us following photos of similar Jardine instruments. All of the pipework, key and stop actions are original. The organ may be hand pumped or supplied with air using a small enclosed blower.
