Notes

2005-01-08 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 31, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2007-02-24 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Placed behind the 1894 Hutchings façade. Unknown which - if any - ranks may have been retained from the Hutchings. The organ has five 32' resultant registers: Diapason, Violone, Bourdon, Gedeckt, and Bombarde. The organ has since been modified and has Celestial, Solo, and Ancillary divisions prepared-for. All but one of the 32' resultants has been removed. And the Pedal division is prepared for additional stops. -Database Manager
