2006-05-01 - Updated through online information from William Barger. -- This organ is the only pipe organ ever to be installed in Clay County, Alabama. The wind chests had electro-pneumatic primaries installed by Garvin Daniels in 1955 along with new keyboards and stop controls. In 1980, Howard Best converted the original chests to electro-mechanical action. This work was not satisfactory. In 2004, Barger & Nix built all-new electro-mechanical chests and enlarged the instrument. The data given here reflect the original size and design of the organ which remained the same until the 2004 rebuilding work. -Database Manager
