Seibert Losh

Charles Seibert Losh (1880–1934) was an American musician, conductor, and organ builder. He was president of the Midmer-Losh Organ Company and oversaw the initial installation of the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ^[1], which is often described as the largest musical instrument in the world.^[2] Losh designed this organ with Republican New Jersey State Senator Emerson Richards, although the relationship ended in lawsuits and acrimony^[3][4].

Losh also installed a custom Midmer-Losh organ in 1926 in the recording studio of Thomas Edison^[5] and wrote about his collaborations with Edison in trade publications.^[6] The Edison organ was sold to the Derry Church in 1933.^[7] Composer Charles Ives also corresponded with Losh about purchasing an organ, but the sale was never completed.^[8]

Before running his own company, Losh installed the organ at the West Point Cadet Chapel^[9] in 1911, which also became one of the largest in the world, while working for the Moller Organ Company,

He was the brother of singer and composer Samuel S. Losh.
