- At the Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ: Anna Vavilkina
The Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ at the Musical Instrument Museum is one of the largest surviving instruments of its kind in Europe. In 1929, Werner Ferdinand von Siemens, the grandson of the company's founder, purchased it from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in North Tonawanda, NY. It has four manuals, 1,228 pipes, and more than 200 stops. In addition, there are a large number of percussion and effect instruments. Thunderclaps and birdsong, sirens wailing and bells ringing—the Mighty Wurlitzer's sound palette is impressive.
