Great Organ at Conventions in Chicago
Jean and Hespers Kuyper of Kuyper Music House install the Connsonata electronic organ as the official instrument for the National Nomination Conventions at the International Amphitheater Chicago. Twelve 15-inch tri axial speakers power sound through large cabinets hung from the 75 ft ceiling, with four more speakers connected to urns. The system, built by an Indiana organ company, delivers acoustical power rivaling 3,000 home radios. Construction and installation exceed 20000 dollars. Radio and TV setups will broadcast organ music for an hour before each daily session and during other convention times.
