Notes

2005-07-10 - New Austin console and replacement Swell after fire damaged the 1915 organ in 1948. -Database Manager

2007-01-13 - The church previously owned Möller Opus 336 (ca. 1900), housed in its previous building. The Möller was donated to Quinn Chapel AME Church when this building was completed ca. 1915. -Database Manager

2012-01-30 - Updated through information from David Finch: -- New electric console 1949 except swell pedal connects to 1915 mechanical expression mechanism. The rebuild after 1949 included not only a new console but also new Swell pipework. Suffered water damage from hurricane Opal water on console, ceiling tiles damaged great pipes. Needs releathering. Swell Rohrflute 8 (wood Gedackt) plays at 4 with reed organ type octave coupler arrangement. -Database Manager
