Notes

2005-06-29 - This Organ identified through information received from Randall Dyer. Encased EP slider in building from 1990. Specs at http://www.cummingfirst.com/organspecs.htm. -Database Manager

2007-09-21 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Partially housed in a large case at the front of the sanctuary. Main, central case houses the Great. Flanking cases house the Pedal. Choir (left) and Swell (right) are behind the cases. -Database Manager

2009-12-07 - Updated through online information from John Hutchinson. -- Additions in 2008, so the stoplist varies slightly from that reported. -Database Manager

2012-07-15 - Updated through online information from Randall S. Dyer. -- Information that this organ has been in the room since 1990 is incorrect. The building was not built until 2002. The idea that the organ has been altered is also somewhat misleading. The organ is substantially as originally installed, except that the Pedal 32' stops were changed from resulting stops to digital stops after the fact, and including the digital harp. -Database Manager
