Notes

2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager

2007-05-12 - Updated through on-line information from Larry D. Pickering. -- I have done minimal service and tunings on this organ in the past. It is now being serviced by Combs organ Service, and is in the midst of renovation and additions by that company with electronic additions by Rodgers Organ Co., with new 4 manual console to be added soon. This organ was originally a Pilcher tracker organ from around 1917 and still has the original Pilcher case and facade intact. -Database Manager

2022-06-06 - Combined with a 4-manual Rodgers in 2008. -Jeff Scofield
