2019-07-24 - Updated by Stanley Ashworth, who maintains the organ. <br>Swell ranks have 73 note range and the flute rank is 97 notes. <br>The Barckhoff 1884 organ was damaged in a fire that swept the church ,and the Pilcher organ used 7 ranks of pipes from the old organ,adding 3 new ranks.All the rest was new in 1932. The organ was replaced in 1971 and moved to my residence in Greensboro,NC where I maintain it. It is played regularly. -Database Manager
