| From David Jensen who was once a fresh-faced student at the University along with E. Lyle Hagert and Paul Emch. “In the auditorium of Scott Hall was a 3 manual Austin Pipe Organ. The console was blond wood and it sat down in front on the East side next to the wall up by the stage...not in the pit. It was a flip tab console. The pipes were in the ceiling as in Northrop and they sounded through a grillwork opening in the ceiling. You may remember that the Scott Hall Auditorium had a fly-space so you could change scenery quickly. The pipes were directly north of the fly-space. I can remember that there was a 16' Trombone in the pedal. | |
| From THE DIAPASON, February 1922: "The University of Minnesota has awarded to the Austin Organ Company a contract for three organs - the largest is a four-manual and the other two to be practice instruments. The four-manual will stand in the new music building and is to have fine variety of tone, but is not a large organ in the usual sense. The Solo will have a powerful reed stop of eighty-five notes playable at 16, 8 and 4-foot pitch. | |
