2012-03-05 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- Only a few ranks of pipes from the 1925 organ were reused; only 1 or 2 came from the Pfeffer organ preceding the Wicks. -Database Manager
2021-08-13 - There is no extant record of a Pfeffer being installed here. It is possible that the Schwab organ was previously attributed to Pfeffer. The case, retained through all rebuilds, appears to have been built by Matthias Schwab in 1834. -Paul R. Marchesano
