A MOLLER PIPE ORGAN, 3 Manual (keyboards)/12 Rank (sets of pipes) Opus 2251 was installed in 1916 that cost $4,000.00. In 1921 it was replaced by another MOLLER PIPE ORGAN, a 3 Manual/17 Rank, Opus 2740 that cost $7,000.00. Does anyone know what happened to these organs? Fats' (Waller)first broadcast was in 1923 from the stage of the Fox Terminal Theatre over a local Newark station. this organ holds historical value.

The M.P. Moller Organ Company is named for Mathias Peter Moller a native of Denmark. He founded the company in 1875 and it made over 11,000 organs on Prospect Street in Hagerstown, Maryland.
The organ affectionately known as the “MIGHTY MO” at the famous beautiful Atlanta’s Fox Theater is a Moller.
