2005-04-07 - Original price: $3,770 -Database Manager

2007-03-05 - Updated through online information from Anthony Celentano. -- The organ was rebuilt at some point by Austin, adding a new console, new chests, and a unit Rohrflute 16-2. The Open Diapason 8, Salicional 8, Aeoline 8, and Oboe 8 are presumed to be original Pilcher stops. The organ was substantially rebuilt/enlarged by Gress-Miles in 1978. All pipework was revoiced and the two strings were combined and rescaled into one broad string. New ranks include: 2 Principal, Mixture IV, Spillpfeife 8-4, Nasard 2 2/3-1 1/3. I played the organ last summer and it exists as it did after the Gress-Miles rebuild. -Database Manager
