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

2005-07-03 - On-line update from Michael A. Brown -- This organ was moved from the original Church building to a new building in 1957. It was not altered and the windchest and swell box sit in a huge chamber at the front of the church. Organ still functions but rarely used due to electronic instrument given to church in late 1990s. Pneumatics in windchest have been replaced but the console appears to be original and unaltered. Swell motor replaced with Peterson unit at some point. I believe the organ is only 9 ranks with 13 speaking stops but not 100 percent certain. This organ does have a walk in universal wind chest. -Database Manager
