Notes

2004-12-17 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 16, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2017-01-04 - Updated by Jason Derrick, who has heard or played the organ. In addition Jason Derrick gave this as a source of information: I was the organist at this church from 1998 to 2013. I was involved in the design and installation of the instrument and still play it regularly.. <br> <br>The Great 8' Flute Celeste II was added several years after the original installation with pipes saved from the church's previous instrument, a circa 1950s Wicks. The pipes were sent to Austin's workshop and completely reworked. If I recall correctly, those two ranks were the last job sent out before Austin ceased production for a time in the mid 2000s. -Database Manager
