This is an electronic version of the original booklet from 1985. 70 pages.
Pipe Organs of Charlotte was prepared by John Apple and
Jerry Johnson to serve as a reference for all pipe organs in the Charlotte
area. One of the original printing is in the permanent collection of the
Carolina Room in the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
The 200 copies were sold out and the profits were donated
to the
Charlotte
Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Size of booklet is 7.0" X
8.5". Free. It is available
here,
free for you, as a PDF, and this is the only way it is available. I hope
that you will enjoy looking at this peek into Charlotte’s organ past.
Some of these organs can be heard right here
on our
site.
There have been so many changes since 1985 that
this booklet was not reissued. A new collection with more organs and multimedia
content is planned for the future. John Apple has served as the Historian
for the Charlotte Chapter of the AGO for many years.
