Notes

2004-10-30 - Salzburg Model. Moved from All Souls Unitarian, Washington D. C. by late 1970s. -Database Manager

2012-07-23 - Updated through online information from Christopher J. Hoh. -- When All Souls Unitarian, Washington DC, had a new Rieger built in the late 1960s, this small instrument was used for worship there until the new organ was ready. St. James (now St. Monica and St. James) bought and installed it in their church where it has remained. -Database Manager

2012-11-02 - Updated through online information from Chris Hoh. -- This organ, before it was moved from All Souls Unitarian to its present location, was dedicated in a recital by Marie-Claire Alain, who also dedicated the 96-rank Rieger at All Souls. -Database Manager
