Notes

2005-04-07 - Identified through information in Volume V p. 1 of the Pilcher factory ledger and the list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2016-11-26 - Updated through online information from John McCraney. <br>When I was at the University of S. C. in the 1960s, the organ was in place, but the manuals, pedals, and stop controls had been removed. Hammond speakers were placed in the chamber, but all of the pipes seem to have been present. My impression is that the organ was a tracker instrument because the tops of the trackers were dangling from the great windchest, which was unenclosed in front of the swell. All other mechanism was missing. When I revisited the church in the 1990s, all signs of the organ were gone, with the shallow apse where it had been located used for more choir seats. -Database Manager
