Our friends at Carlton Smith Pipe Organ Restorations finished their project at the Dixon Theatre in Dixon Illinois.   This 3 manual 12 rank Barton Organ was recorded last week by Strand Friend Justin Nimmo.   Justin works for Carlton and did much of the renovation work.   Justin writes:

Here is a slide show video of the new 3/12 Barton organ that now lives in the Dixon Theatre in Historic Dixon, IL. The restoration and installation was performed by Carlton Smith Pipe Organ Restorations where I work. The slide show shows images of the theatre interior as well as selected shots of the console during restoration and in its new home. The music is me performing It’s Delovely during its demonstration performance, and it certainly is! – Justin Nimmo
