Notes

2004-12-21 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 20, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2005-02-28 - Gt: 8' Diapason, 8' Gross Flute replaced c.1997 with supply house pipes (new: 8' Principal, 4' Octave); Sw: 8' Oboe (French Oboe), 16' & 8' Trumpet [orig. probably Cornopean] (new: Posaune) replaced c.1997 with supply house pipes. 8' Vox Humana (Sw)-actions repaced with direct-electric type magnets. Treble extensions for most ranks missing upon inspection 2004. Portions of original ranks of Oboe & Gross Flute found in storage. -Database Manager

2012-08-30 - Updated through online information from paul marchesano. -- Austin mechanism restored 2005-2009: actions releathered, pipework cleaned, regulated, stoppers repacked. Console awaits renovation. Swell Trumpet, Posaune, Oboe and Great 8' Diapason replaced with supply house pipework in 1990s. Groos Flute removed from great at that time. Most of the original Oboe rank was found in the organ loft and awaits restoration and return to the Swell division. -Database Manager

2021-01-15 - At some time after the complete restoration of the actions the church apparently contracted with a Pittsburgh firm to add digital voices and replace the console. The church left the Episcopal Church communion and joined the breakaway Anglican Church in North America and is since known as St. Peter's Anglican Church. -Paul R. Marchesano
