Notes

2005-02-16 - Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in <i>The Hook Opus List 1829-1935</i>, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). -Database Manager

2013-02-15 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- According to a compilation of pipe organs in Oregon assembled by 1960's Balcom and Vaughan Pipe Organs (Seattle, Washington) Tonal Director, Eugene M. Nye, this organ was rebuilt and electrified in 1935 by Geo. Kilgen & Sons for an unspecified church in Texas. My experience with it was in the St. Benedict Abbey Church of St. Benedict, Oregon where I played, photographed, and documented it in 1990 and 1991. -Database Manager
