About the Hoopernacle

The Aeolian-Skinner Console

This console was in the Avery Fisher Hall in the Lincoln Center in New York City. It went from there to the Crystal Catheral in California, then somehow to a storage shed in Uintah, Utah. We got it from there.

 

 

Hal working on the organ

Hal is preparing a board to add new leather pouches. Our friend Ray Kimber told us if you want to find out how dumb you are just try fixing a pipe organ.

Our friend, and Tabernacle organist, Richard Elliott, visited the Hoopernacle in March of 2014. We had a wonderful time with him. What a genius, and also what a gentleman. He's as nice as he is talented. He looked around the organ barn and played the organ for about an hour. It was an unforgettable experience for us.
