The 1917 Mighty Wurlitzer is now assembled in the Visalia Fox Theatre in Visalia California. Just prior to the demolition of the State Theatre, Richard S. Villemin rescued this beautiful 4 manual 22 rank Wurlitzer pipe organ. The 32 foot pipes are not with the organ and I am not sure where they are. The Wurlitzer Organ is OPUS 433. The organ is scheduled for four concerts a year. In 2003, Dr. Ruth Villeman Dresser donated this beautiful Organ to the Fox in Visalia where she and her brother Richard Villeman tuned the origional Fox organ in the 1930’s. This is one of many organs that Richard Villeman rescued during the times when theatres were being demolished.
