2013-10-23 - Updated through online information from Joan Rollins. -- The 1926 Pilcher organ was renovated in 2013 by Blackinton and Associates, El Cajon, CA. The organ served faithfully in the church for 87 years without major repairs. However, in the past few years problems had become apparent and the decision was made to replace the original wind chests. The console was rebuilt and the original ivory keyboards were fitted with new silver contacts along with new stop controls and combination action. Forty-nine Vox Celeste pipes were added and four additional stop controls were also added. -Database Manager
