Notes
2005-05-02 - Major repairs in 2003-04 by Fabry Pipe Organs, Inc.
Work included replacing the relay (control system) with a Peterson Master Stop Processor system, and all new pistons buttons and toe studs, and multiplexed connections to both chambers.
No ranks were added or changed at the time.
Re-leathering work has for the time being not been addressed.
The organ speaks into a relatively supportive acoustic (though not with a lot of reverberation). -Database Manager
