Notes

2005-04-07 - Identified through information in Vol. IX p. 8 of the factory ledger and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2005-04-07 - Original price: $3060 -Database Manager

2007-03-03 - Updated through on-line information from Jack Hasty. -- I am told on good authority by the current organist at St. Thomas this organ was built in 1906 and that it was originally a 'tracker'; and that in 1941 it was converted to 'electro-pneumatic' and at that time was possibly given the Opus #1953, and does not know the original Opus Number. -Database Manager
