 Stambaugh
Auditorium is fortunate to have in the large concert hall an un-augmented
E. M. Skinner pipe organ with a 4 manual console. With 59 ranks altogether,
the organ features such rare pipe work as French Horn, Bombarde, Corno
di Besseto, Corno di Amore, Tuba Mirabilis, Ophecldide, Triangle Flute,
Kleine Erzahler and English (Willis) Mixtures. The only remaining
Skinner organ in the area, its pipes vary in  size
from one, the size and weight of a #2 pencil, to one 30 inches by
30 inches,weighing 750 pounds. The organ is searching for a grant
or foundation support to restore it to its original splendor. Other
Skinner organs can be heard at Washington National Cathedral, Cathedral
of St. John the Divine, Cleveland Public Auditorium, Lincoln Center
(later removed and installed in the Crystal Cathedral), and in halls
at Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Michigan and UCLA to name only a few.
The organ is priceless.  In
addition, on the main stage and in the Marble Room are Steinway concert
grand pianos. A Baldwin grand is located in the ballroom. Available
for use in the upper lobby is another grand piano. The Marble Room
holds a small electric organ. A full service bar can be set up in any needed area of the property. Help with catering will be arranged when necessary. Ticket booths are on the lower level and inside the main entrance. The auditorium can arrange for ticket sellers when requested. FAX and copying capabilities are also available.  Parking
for 300 cars in fenced and lighted lots is available. Youngstown City
Police are used for security for events and direct parking around
the building. |
