Notes

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

2016-09-03 - Updated through online information from Randall Maynard. <br>During the summer of 2016 (June-August) the console was rebuilt/upgraded - manual windchests were releathered and a 12 pipe extension of the 8' Fagotto to 16' pitch for the Pedal division. 8' Fagotto was also made playable on the Great division as well. This was a general refurbishment/restoration project for this organ as a part of the 50th Anniversary of the building of Snidow Chapel and the organ. Work was completed by The Reuter Organ Company. -Database Manager
