Notes

2005-07-25 - Moved into this building from a previous campus location and rebuilt in 1979 by John Leek, University organ technician. -Database Manager

2011-06-12 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2013-02-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is presently (2012-02-02) listed for sale on the Leek Pipe Organ Co. website. The organ has a very asymmetrical and Holtkamp-esque appearance with the Pedal at the extreme left, the Great at center/left, the Swell enclosure at center/right, and the Positiv to the far right. Even the Positiv chest layout copies a long-time standard of Holtkamp. -Database Manager
