2012-03-22 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- On the "David Tannenberg, Organbuilder" website, Philip T.D. Cooper writes "On November 12, 1771, Tannenberg was paid £54.12.0 for 'repair' of the organ in St. Michael's. This was too large an amount to be a simple tuning. Tannenberg may have possibly modified the instrument in some way - possibly adding a stop or two. This organ was replaced by Andrew Krauss in 1815 who may have used some of the Schmahl pipes or parts in the building of his new instrument." -Database Manager
