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

2010-01-10 - Updated through online information from Michael Berman. -- The organ appears to be tonally unaltered; however, the facade pipes were removed and replaced with speaker cloth, and paneling partially covers the case and initial arch shaped tonal opening, giving a more rectangular look to the front of the sanctuary. The only console alteration appears to be replacing ivory with plastic on both manuals. There are 13 stops, not 13 ranks, but this is typical reporting for small organs of the era, and therefore the stop and rank count remain unaltered in this update. -Database Manager
