Fritts pipe organ, Memorial Church at Stanford University

The Fritts Stanford Organ "is one of the three organs in the Memorial Church at Stanford University. Its carvings, crafted by Jude Fritts, were inspired by a motif from a toy she had as a child. The images include the moon, stars, sun, a storm depicted by a cloud exhaling, sea monsters in gold leaf. "

From: Still, Tamara G., "Paul Fritts and Company, Organ Builders: The evolution of the mechanical-action organ in the United States during the 20th century with historical emphasis on the instruments of Paul Fritts", doctoral dissertation submitted for Doctor of Musical Arts, University of Washington, 2005
