Notes

2004-12-21 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 19, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2012-10-28 - Updated through online information from Thomas H Andrews. -- While a student at Morristown School, grades 10 -12, I was also an organ student under Hedley Yost, 1962-1965 at the church. The organ had a resultant 32' using components from a prior 1920s installation. Moveable console with electrical umbilical, stock Austin, all stop tabs above upper manual, no drawknobs. My info is as of 1969. I have no info on updates since then. Fox gave a recital there mid '60s. -Database Manager
