Pratt-Read had these in stock, because the 44 key F-C had been 
established by the organ industrie in the last 40 years before. They 
were industry standard. And why where they standard? I could imagine, 
because the average player (=average home organ buyer), was best in 
playing in C-Major. And he did not play a Rachmaninov improptu but "mary 
had alittle lamb". So he wanted tonica, dominant, tonica, subdominant: C 
G C G C G C F C....
