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
2006-05-03 - Updated through on-line information from Eric Birk. -- The 3-manual console was built by Austin to operate an Aeolian antiphonal division (exant, ostensibly altered, and no longer playable) from the lowest manual. The Austin records for this instrument record the number of ranks as 31, which is inaccurate, even taking into account the company's "future sales" practice of "prepared stops." The organ's chimes were originally from a previous organ, and were replaced in 2000 with a new set of Deagan chimes (25 tubes). At some point in the mid-1980s a 7-bell cymbelstern was installed in the Great division. The Swell division was releathered in 1997; the Great and Pedal divisions in 2005. -Database Manager
