and Couplers; one Foot Piston for Great to Pedal reversible; one Foot Piston for Full Organ. Balanced Swell Pedal to Swell, Choir, and Solo; Balanced Crescendo Pedal. Tremulants to Choir, Swell, and Solo. CITY HALL, PORTLAND, MAINE. This organ was built by the Austin Organ Company, of Hartford, Conn., in 1912. It was presented to the city of Portland by Mr. Cyrus K. Curtis, of the Saturday Evening Post, in memory of the late Hermann Kotschmar, whose "Te Deum" is well known in the United States. The organ is in a handsome case on the platform at one end of the hall and is entitled to take its place among the world's great instruments. It is certainly a coincidence that those who have been associated with Mr. Hope-Jones in business now rank as the foremost organ builders in America, as witness this fine organ and that in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. The Portland organ has four manuals of 61 notes, CC to c|3|, and pedal of 32 notes, CCC to g. There are 88 sounding stops and 33 couplers. GREAT ORGAN (18 STOPS). FEET. FEET.
