The artist at our Slave console can set his own sounds. Not so with the Dickinson Kimball Slave console. In the 1920’s, a slave console only had keyboards all other controls were inactive on the slave. Not truly a slave console in the fashion of the 1920’s, this console has its own relay independent of the Master console although its signals run through the relay of the new console.
We call the “old” console the “Slave” console. We refer to our new console as the “Master” console. The rails (where the stop tabs are) are new (created by Kenny Crome) the pedalboard has new key tops the keyboards have new ivory tops (salvaged from a discarded organ keyboard set) and new stop tabs and there is a new relay and combination system. It has been totally gutted and what remains is the shell and keyboards. It was originally installed in the Stanley (or Stanton) Theatre in Baltimore.

In 1974, Dan Garland of Texas refurbished the instrument retaining the original console.

THIS KIMBALL SWINGER 300 DELUXE ORGAN WITH BENCH IS NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. After experiencing such terrible conditions in 1996, Kimball International closed its piano and organ division. As a result of the presence of other instruments in the market, this was true mainly. Between the 1990s and today, the number of pianos sold has plummeted. We are proud to present you with the opportunity to tour our magnificent Kimball organ. KIMBALL SWINGER 300 DELUXE ORGAN WITH BENCH - 300 - 100. Then in 1974, Kimball International changed its name to Kimball Corporation.
