Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1987. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Relocated from St. Nicholas of Tolentine R.C., Bronx, NY via OCH in 1987 by Watersmith Organbuilders with addition of an 8' Oboe. -Database Manager

2008-01-22 - Fomr PIPORG-L, January, 2008: Currently for sale on eBay. -Database Manager

2008-01-23 - Updated through online information from william rowland. -- This Organ is now being sold on Ebay. It is apparently in need of releathering and the people selling it seem to know little to nothing about organs. They claim it goes out of tune frequently/easily. Most Jardines do not. Apparently the church is not giving the instrument time to adapt and tuning on heat and cooling at the last minute. I have been told that it is being sold and being replaced by an electronic. -- Apparently this Organ has been traded several times and has acquired a full modern pedal somewhere along the line. Its sister organs do not extend up to high G but stop as short as the C below in some instruments. -Database Manager

2013-10-18 - Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. -- Organ chamber is open to the transept. A platform, behind the organ facade, holds a 2 manual electronic, its speakers placed high in the original chamber opening, just behind the arched opening to the chancel. -Database Manager
