Notes
2005-01-07 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 29, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager
2007-07-08 - Updated through online information from Wayne Johnson. -- The organ's final price was too much for the church. The great division was built along with the Pedal unit Principal all unenclosed. The remainder of the proposed Austin organ was not built. The console was made by Copemen-Hart in the UK and controls mostly electronic voices and the pipe voices. -Database Manager
2007-08-03 - Updated through online information from don belben. -- I was primary resident consultant for this eight-year, arduous project, and it should be noted that the Austin instrument was only briefly conceived as a 25-rank organ. The stoplist, which you have printed, was to be its final configuration, and was to be 17 ranks, instead of the printed 25 ranks, as can be observed with tabulation. Three additional ranks were also prepared for. Then when the instrument became a hybrid, the proposed Great enclosure,(recommended by several experts for this rather small) sanctuary, was deleted, due to funding, and the French-type Trompette, in the proposed Swell Div. was moved to the Great Div. and became an English Trumpet 8, of a more solo nature. The pedal Princ. 16' is an ext. of the Great Princ. and the ped. Princ/Oct. 8+ 4 are one rank, with extension. The pipe organ consists of 11 ranks, as built. -Database Manager
