2018-03-12 - Updated by William M. Worden, who has heard or played the organ. In addition William M. Worden gave this as a source of information: I maintained the organ in the mid 1970s and was acquianted with the long-term organist who paid the for the addition mentioned below. An antiphonal division was added to the organ ca. 1972, paid for by the long-time organist John Andrews and played from the gallery console. Some years later, a small console that controlled only the antiphonal was installed in the chancel, I believe by Craig Nelson. -Database Manager
