Notes

2008-01-01 - Updated through online information from Linwood E. Bratcher, Jr.. -- Beautiful instrument, Last instrument Charles Fisk worked on. He died before it was installed in the building. Instrument located in Pre-Civil War Sanctuary with wonderful acoustics. Sits in back gallery in the center of the barreled ceiling. Speaks directly into the room. -Database Manager
