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

2009-09-24 - Updated through on-line information from David McMillan. -- Remarkable for its endurance with minimal servicing - it endures and accompanies worship every Sunday - -Database Manager

2015-04-18 - Updated through online information from Edwin H Myers Jr. -- My firm, Rosenberry & Myers Organbuilders, tunes this organ. <br>Years back the GT. 8' Violoncello was replaced with a 4' Octave of recycled pipes. Also years back someone cut off the overlength portion of the wooden Sw. Flauto Traverso so they just standard length (non-harmonic) flutes now. -Database Manager
