The Schuelke Organ Company was a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based pipe organ builder. Schuelke Organs operated in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. William Schuelke was a Prussian immigrant who came to the United States in 1874. Schuelke's contributions to organ building included inventing the electric motor powered bellows crank, for which he received a patent. This was a major improvement over existing hand-cranked bellows. The Schuelke Organ Company ceased operations in the early 20th century. Today, few of the organs his company produced exist intact. A yearly free organ recital is held at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Milwaukee on the first Sunday of November to showcase its 1885 Schuelke pipe organ. ==Locations with a Schuelke organ== * Bethany Lutheran Church, Ishpeming, Michigan * Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Mecan, Wisconsin * First Presbyterian Church, Leadville, Colorado * Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, Ashland, Wisconsin * Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin * Saint Anthony of Padua Church, St. Louis, Missouri * Saint Boniface Church, New Vienna, Iowa * Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Milwaukee * Saint Mary's Catholic Church, Columbus, Ohio * St. Mary's Catholic Church, Remsen, Iowa * Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Milwaukee * First Lutheran Church, Middleton, Wisconsin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schuelke Organ Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
