Notes
2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager
2012-08-20 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager
2022-01-09 - In 1979, the reeds were removed and taken back to Reuter for revoicing. The console was also returned to the factory for updating to a Peterson combination action and switching. After reinstallation, Franklin Mitchell spent some time at the chapel tonal finishing. There was a very heavy dossal cloth covering the front wall of the chapel/organ chambers that had been removed, allowing for a better acoustical situation. -Reggie Hulsey
