Spreckles
Organ
created by
The
organ at Balboa Park, San Diego, California was a gift given to the people
of San Diego by John D. Spreckles for the Panama-California Exposition
in 1915. The organ is the world's largest outdoor musical instrument,
weighing nearly 100,000 pounds. It has been said that the music can be
heard up to three miles away. After all these years the organ is still
in good working condition and free concerts are held at the organ pavilion
in Balboa Park every Sunday afternoon. ----------------
