2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager
2013-04-14 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Camil Van Hulse, a composer and organist of the church, designed the organ; it was to include an Antiphonal, as well as a Bombarde division at home on the Great - for a total of around 50 ranks; 12 ranks were installed and Reuter never installed any additional stops. -Database Manager
2023-08-20 - After playing the organ again today, it was evident that it has not been used regularly for quite some time. The manual actions still work well, however, the pedal division is now showing signs of fatigue. Stopkeys and console have been heavily modified, and it has been changed since its original installation, as most of the stops *seem* to be independent, and more have been added. Instrument is voiced very, very boldly for a massive sanctuary. The great and choir are in the south chamber, and the swell in the north chamber. Console appears to be movable, currently mounted slightly south of center in the rear gallery/balcony. When I have a longer chance to view the chambers and get to know the instrument better, I will provide a rank count, pipe count, and rank info, as well as updating the whole entry. -Preston Miller
