Larry Bray’s Organ Loft’s Wurlitzer’s original 19 ranks came from the Staten Island Paramount Theatre which consisted of two 3 manual waterfall consoles These were turned into the 5 manual console which you see today. He supposedly acquired the Paramount organ after selling off the smaller theatre organs that had been installed in his uncle’s chicken coop. Subsequent additions to the organ’s pipework now totals 34 ranks. Over the years a handful of LP’s were recorded on the organ by the late Gus Farney. I believe that Lyn Larsen was the last to record an album on this Wurlitzer.

The map says 13th South, it should be 33rd South at Edison Street. The big neon sign on the building reads: EDISON STREET, the new name for Organ Loft which appears as an ‘aka’ in small letters at the bottom of the sign.

The Organ Loft gets the majority of its business from banquets and wedding receptions, but several times a year it holds a silent film festival. Music for silent films is performed by four local accompanists who have the special talent it takes to synchronize sound effects to action on the screen.
