General Service >> Bushnell Memorial Hall, Hartford, CT

Its 82 rank, symphonic spec and shallow, unimpeded side-wall installation make the Bushnell's organ one of the best symphonic instruments in America. Used now mostly for concerts by the Hartford Symphony, this c:1929 Austin remains original and in excellent condition.
