Notes

2006-01-09 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Tonal revision and additions to the existing 1911 W. W. Kimball organ that had been electrified in 1955 with a new Möller console. The two independent 16' Pedal registers are still only 30 pipes even though the pedalboard compass is 32 notes. -Database Manager

NOTES
The original Kimball was installed on the central axis of the Akron plan sanctuary.
The facade contains __ gold-painted pipes.

The new Möller console was installed by Möller representative Ernest M. Kuhn in 1955.
It is not presently known if any tonal changes were made at this time or if this was
just an electrification of the playing action.

In 19__, Canadian organ builder Adrian Koppejan of Chilliwac, B.C. made tonal changes
to the instrument.

Stops marked with an asterisk (*) are retained from the original 1911 Kimball.
