Opus 77, 77A

The prototype for these identical small practice instruments was Opus 37, built at the request of Melville Smith, organ instructor at Wellesley College.  They differ from the original by an additional stop, the Sesquialtera I-II on the Great, and by a Pedal compass reduced from 32 to 30 notes.  The Sesquialtera and the Mixture on Manual I are double draws, allowing their 2 ⅔’ and 2′ ranks to be used separately.

In 2000 Opus 77A was moved to a private residence in Charleston, SC.
