This Marenghi Dance organ was built by the Paris firm of Ch. Marenghi & Cie. in about
1902. It operated in France or Holland for a short time before it was sold to a Belgian
community in Mishawaka, Indiana. It was then sold to a Mr. Charles Crombez of Detroit,
Michigan and was installed in his Dance Hall around 1925-
About 2004, the current owner purchased the organ again. After years of storage,
it was necessary for a major rebuild. New wind chests were fabricated by the firm
Organ Supply Industries. A new facade, based on an original Marenghi design, was
made by Carousel Magic of Mansfield, Ohio. The restored organ features all the original
350+ organ pipes with the exception of the six duplicated Trombone pipes. The tonal
make up of the organ includes 5 sets of reed pipes which is extremely unusual. There
are approximately 150 complete books of music with the organ music library. Physical
size is: 16'-
