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

2005-01-27 - Louis Vierne gave a recital in 1927. -Database Manager

2007-01-28 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Spokane school district solicited bids from the original builder and other firms for the restoration of the organ. The contract was awarded to local Spokane organ technician Philip A. Larson dba Washington Pipe Organ. Sadly, Mr. Larson lacked sufficient organ experience to complete the project and forfeited the project before it was completed. The remaining work was achieved by Brantley C. Dudey of Pennsylvania. -Database Manager
