HELP PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS !

Hundreds of donors have made donations to support the restoration of the theatre organ’s many pipes. Many donors have requested a donation opportunity that would include memorabilia from the actual organ. In response to this request, donors may now purchase an authentic piece of the Kentucky Theater’s Wurlitzer pipe organ. During the console renovation, pneumatic stop tablets along with associated pneumatic actions will be removed and replaced with electric action units. There is a limited number of stop tablets available for this offer.
For a tax-deductible donation of $500 you will receive an original stop tablet with associated leather pneumatics and dedication plaque mounted on an attractive wood base.
